Michael and I were fortunate to celebrate Pat’s 70th birthday in North Carolina at Ellen and Dan’s home. It was such a joyful and special occasion. We also treasured every visit Pat made to North Carolina, memories we will cherish forever. And we especially loved her Irish soda bread!

Condolences to the entire family.

I was lucky enough to see Mrs D at Wyndam back in December. I talked to her briefly and mentioned Kickline , her eyes got wider and held my hand. I’d like to think she remembered me for a brief moment. We had a lot of fun with her as our coach. Rest in peace Mrs D.. xo

We are so very saddened to hear about the passing of my very dear friend Pat.
As the school Doctor we had the gift of working and laughing together at Garden City High School Nurses office every Thursday morning for many years. After my office hours I would stop by her house for coffee on many days. On Sunday mornings Pat would often stop by our house for coffee and share stories about her wonderful children. Pat will be deeply missed by us and so many others. May God Bless you my friend, Rest in Peace! love, Robert & Theresa D'Esposito

I was a student at Garden City High School, Class of 1989. Mrs. Dolan coached our kickline team and she was just the best. She was always there for us--even for the cold outdoor performances--and full of fun and funny advice. I will always remember her. May she rest in peace, and my condolences to her family.

I met Pat Dolan in the early 90s. I went to law school with her wonderful son, Dan, and her fabulous daughter in law, Ellen. The three of us and my wife, Danielle, then girlfriend, became great friends. I have incredibly fond memories of spending time, including sleepovers, at Mrs. Dolan’s house. She was always so welcoming. I had the privilege to spend a good deal of time in her company and the time was filled with lots of laughs and interesting conversation. Like the other people who have submitted remembrances here, I was always particularly struck by Mrs. Dolan’s boundless love and dedication to her children and later, her grandchildren.

Rest in peace, Mrs. Dolan

Everyone who ever had the privilege of knowing Pat Dolan absolutely LOVED her! I first met Pat when she was the nurse at Garden City High School. She took such great care of all our kids and they, and, all the parents, knew this. Time moved on, kids left the nest, and I did not see her for a while. What a complete joy it was when Pat moved into the Wyndham! So many of us, who knew her, were so thrilled to see her again, and have her as a neighbor. She adored her children, grandchildren, playing cards ( in the Wyndham Room) and just being a wonderful friend to so many of us. She was always a bright light and put a smile on everyone’s faces! THIS is how I will remember Pat Dolan! May she rest in peace!

I am so deeply saddened over the loss of beautiful Pat Dolan! My mom worked with her for so many years in the nurses office at Garden City HS. Mom absolutely loved her! We all did! She was so good to my mom! She always made us smile with her sweet bubbly personality! My mom got sick with Lewy Body Dementia 10 years ago and passed away in April 1st. I came on here to see my moms obituary, and I was shocked to see Pat’s name listed a few lines above my mom🥲A few years ago though mom was not well, we got to have a beautiful lunch together! Though mom did not know many people anymore, as soon as she saw Pat she remembered her and we were thrilled to see how she brought a smile to moms face. I am so thankful they were reunited that day, and it’s so incredible that they are reunited again, now in Heaven. Deepest sympathy. Thank you Pat for all you did to make the world a better place, and for making mom smile. Please hug my mom for me. Rest In Peace🙏🏻

Our deepest love and sympathy to Pat's cherished joys ~ Debbie, Maureen, John, & Dan and your treasured families.

Pat was the most generous, compassionate, stunning, brilliant, and by far the most engaging individual and so truly embodies the saying "she never met a stranger."

The world is now dimmer without Pat's shining light of love and radiant zest for life.

Gone too soon, Pat's impact is lasting and profound. We will miss her and love her forever...

With all our love,
Jane, Sha, and Gerri
