Holiday time and Christmas classics were her favorite; It's a Wonderful Life, Elf, and Christmas Vacation would keep her laughing.  She loved vacations, especially Disney World, and was always the first one ready to go!  But God and family was what she loved most.Pat had a great sense of humor, was a trivia buff, loved her soaps, The Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful, she was a huge Lipton tea drinker (with milk and way too much sugar!) and she loved to talk to anyone. Pat is survived by her loving children; Kimberly Ann Zasadil, Laura Lynn Zasadil-Carr (Michael) and John Michael Zasadil (Lauren).
