Pat was born at the Sussex Hospital on March 20, 1949; she was the daughter of Gordon and Betty (Wallace) Norrad. Pat had a difficult time dealing with the fact that when she was born, her mother taped her ears back for aesthetic reasons, until she had Caran. Pat's grandparents spoiled her rotten, setting a precedent for Murray. Pat was a wonderful sister, but not a great babysitter. One day she was supposed to walk Nancy to the rink but left her at Sharp's Corner where she was hit by a truck. Fortunately, Nancy was not hurt at all but Pat paid big time. In school, Pat was very active in sports as well as being a cheerleader. She had many friends and this is when she met Murray and fell in love when she was fourteen. After graduating from Sussex High, Pat went on to Saint John Technical School and eventually worked in Saint John. She headed out West to spread her wings. Eventually, she made her way back home to Murray who was waiting, never to be apart again, they were married on September 18, 1971 and went on to have three beautiful girls. They built their home, opening the doors to one and all and that never changed throughout the years. Pat followed the kids in their sports, making her presence known in the stands by her cheering and laughter. She rang the halls. Pat loved to travel whether it be cruises or by air, but no trips were better than the road trips. They were very special and even had one designated as "Red Jeep Day". Pat was very involved in her community and especially her Church. Pat was the recipient of the Paul Harris Award. She has been blessed throughout her life with a wonderful and loving family, many friends whether new or old and an unwavering faith to help her through the days where a hand was needed. She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, sister in law and friend.
