Angel, Patsy, John, Eileen and family,

Pat was more like an "aunt" to me as opposed to my Dad Kevin's first cousin. I connected more with her in Ontario when my family moved to Calgary in the 1980's. After I also moved to Calgary in 1989, I periodically returned to the Brantford area to keep connected with relatives and friends. It was special to catch up with Pat there as she is always one that I keep close at heart. How wonderful that she was such a big part of your life and how thankful I am that I got to know such a kind, caring and genuine soul that I can call my relative. Her legacy lives on in you. The connection to family in Ireland is inspiring. I do hope the Woodburn-Hogan connection can continue with the next generation as we sure have a lot in common. I hope to look you up the next time I am in Ontario. Hugs to all of you.

Dear Patsy, Eileen, and family,

I am very saddened to hear of the loss of your wonderful mother. I only had the occasion to meet her a couple of times and I knew right away what a kind compassionate soul she was. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

God Bless Patsy.

From the first day we met Pat and were enveloped in a big hug, we have felt like family. Don always said, “she’s like my big sister.” That big, warm smile. Always wanting to know how we were doing. Did we have enough to eat. Laughing at our corny jokes. Always so kind and gentle. So modest, inspite of everything she has done for others. A quiet, moral presence. Oh Pat, we will miss you. Thank you for being such a gift to us.

I only met Pat a few times but I was so taken by her charm and warm personality. She will be truly missed and I send my deepest sympathy to all of the family. Sincerely, Sandy Wilson (friend of Cathy)

Deepest sympathy to Pats loving family. We have loved Pat thru life and will continue to love her now that she is in her resting place.

We have wonderful memories of Pats visits to Ireland over the years and ours to Canada. These memories will be treasured forever.

From her loving cousin Phil, Eddie, Eamonn and Jody.

Patricia, a gracious and genuine soul, will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Brian and I did not spend a lot of time with her but the times we were together were memorable because of her lovely smile, warm hugs and her caring, gentle personality. Her family, relatives and Irish Heritage meant everything to her. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family at this difficult time.

Fern Hogan (Brian)

Pat and her dad arrived in Canada (1956 I think) ahead of the rest of her family. For a short period, they stayed with the Martin Hogan family on Willow Street in Paris. With the 5 Hogan kids (Sheila, Kevin, Maureen, Michael and Brian), as well as Margaret and Martin (mom and dad Hogan), it was a busy household. When her dad found work and lodging, they moved on to Brantford, and the Brantford Woodburn dynasty was kick started.

Over the years, Pat has been my connection to the large family tree in Ireland, including last September when we visited the Hogan homestead and gravesite, in addition to visiting with relatives in Dublin. Pat organized a family dinner when I visited in 2013 --- Walter Gretzky (a school classmate of mine) was a guest that night.

Pat's constant cheerful willingness to help had no boundaries and we will greatly miss her.

Kevin Hogan -- Calgary

I met Patricia through some political events when I was living in Brantford. She was a very kind and thoughtful lady. She will be missed. My sympathies to her friends and family.

My sincere condolences to Pat’s family members. She contributed a great deal to so many causes, and she made a very significant difference in the lives of many, many individuals, undoubtedly more than she realized.

A very well-lived life, and hers is certainly one to emulate. May this very fine woman rest in the eternal peace she has earned. Lloyd St. Amand

Gramma Woody,

As I sit here in Dorset weeping I go from tears to smile’s. When I walk into your room your presence and smells are so strong. I get such a warm and wonderful feeling. Eileen and I where so blessed to have you spend time with us here. Your journey was not always easy. You and I both struggled with our ailing hearts and we relied on Eileen to watch over us. Gramma Woody your warm heart and gentleness was so comforting. We didn’t always agree on the dinner table topics. I sure knew it when I stepped out of bounds. My Parents died very young and you more then filled the void they left. I am going to miss you watching over my work here in Dorset, you were by far my best cheerleader. Gramma I will never forget the love you had for our children Justin and Kori. The special bond you had with Justin from the day he was born was unbreakable to the very end. Thank you for everything you have done over the years. I can’t thank you enough for bringing my wife Eileen Eva into this world. I will miss you so much ❤️ Jeff

My deepest condolences to Patsy, Angel, Eileen and John. Pat Woodburn was very special to me. I was lucky enough to date her beautiful daughter Patsy. This lovely lady was like a Mom to me and welcomed me into her home and treated me as one of her own. She was gracious and caring made me truly feel as a part of her family. For the next 5 years it was my second home. Her commitment to her family was second to none . I have fond memories of Christmas and family events. She was a beautiful soul and very much apart of some of the best years of my life.

Patricia will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of spending time with her. She was a kind smile, a warm hug and a comforting hello to everyone she helped at school. Our family will always be grateful for the wonderful care she showed others for so many years.

We send our condolences to Patricia's family and friends during these difficult days.

Dear Angel, Patsy, John, Eileen and families, sending our deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom. We have so many wonderful memories that are never forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dear Patsy, Doug, Children and Extended Family

I remember your beautiful Mom so well and all of the Woodburn Family.

We were neighbours so many years ago and I remember well how special each and every member of the Woodburn Family was.

Take care of yourselves and know we hold you all in our hearts and in our prayers.
