Pat Fine

What can I tell you about my mom.... She believed there was no greater thing on this earth than FAMILY... Her favorite time of the year was Christmas when she knew she would get one day where all her daughters would be in the same room at the same time. I know this because, Thanksgiving day she and I would start our planning and brainstorming.The mere thought of buying gifts,planning the menu for Christmas day and thinking about all the fun that the day would hold made her so Happy. Over the course of the weeks leading up to Christmas she would be so excited that we sometimes talked on the phone 3 or 4 times a day, It was our time...it was our tradition... Looking back on those times I can see her sitting in her chair looking around the room with a smile on her beautiful face, so proud of the fact that her 3 baby girls had grown into women and given her the best gift ever...a house full of family! She was the most giving person I have known... There wasn't a day that has gone by that she didn't make sure we knew how much she loved us.... She loved unconditionally and boy did she love... She was my best friend... She was opinionated.... She had a passion for facebook and reconnected with many of her high school friends, she started a Cards for Seniors drive on FB and she was the first person to comment on a picture or status update you had made. She was Beautiful inside and out... She was gracious... She was supportive... She was fun & funny... She was great listener... She was the best mother a daughter could hope for... She was the glue that held our family together... She was so super proud of her grandchildren and she cherished them dearly... She had a passion for genealogy and researching her family's history... I have a hole in my heart right now but I plan to fill it with memories of mom and over the course of time I can only hope that I become half as good as she was.... She is my Mama and I have never been more proud to say "Hey, That's My Mom!" Dear Mom: The world just seems a little smaller now that you are gone and I honestly do not know what I am going to do with out you.... I hope you knew how much you were loved and how deeply missed you will be.... I love you mama... Love Georgina....

Mike and I (as well as Margaret & Monica) are very saddened to hear about the loss of a such fantastic person. She has been my best friend for almost thirty years. I am almost without words. Please know that we will continue to think of her often, as she was always so warm, friendly, and giving. Our hearts do go out to you as you mourn her loss. Love you girls, and if there is ever anything that I can do for you, let me know.

I love you Mimi you were one of my favorites. I remember the times you emailed me from [email protected] for viruses, animal habitats and funny videos. I will miss Mimi a lot!

How excited Pat and I were when we found each other. My Grandfather, John Abram Noe,Jr. and her Grandmother, Martha Noe Collins were siblings. At the same I discovered another cousin, Jim Noah whose Grandfather was Rufus King Noe brother of John Abram and Martha. I met most of the Logan cousins and fell in love with the whole family. I have corresponded with Pat and Cora ever since . I will miss Pat dearly I am so happy that we found each other. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and my prayers are with you. Ethelee and Jay McClure

Georgian, May you find peace and comfort in knowing others understand and care. My deepest sympathy to you and family. LaVoice

To the family of Pat: Many people from across the country are thinking about you at this time, and sending you love. We are remembering Pat's kind, loving ways. Keep the memories that you have close to you, and shared with the "little ones" in your families so that they will know her, too. Becky Barnette Beane Minneapolis, MN

I have known Pat since junior high school and I too got reacquainted with her once again through Facebook. I feel so blessed to have known Pat for she was a perfect example of what a true friend should be. She was a very giving person who was always there to give words of praise and encouragement whenever needed. I want to express my deepest and sincerest condolences to the family and to let you know my prayers for comfort are with you at this time.

On behalf of Cabela's Brand Marketing group our heartfelt condolences go out to Rebecca & Chad and family in this time of unexpected sadness. Our prayers and Thoughts are with you as the Lord holds you up during these trying times. God Bless

Pat,

Even though we only reconnected a few months ago, I miss you! I miss your facebook conversations, humor, stories, and our shared love of the Lord. Thank you for being my friend in high school and, lately, through the internet. May God bless your family as they adjust to life without you.

Until I reconnected with her recently on Facebook, I hadn't been in touch with her since school. But just as I remembered, I could tell she still had that pretty smile and a sunny personality. I am SO sorry about her passing and will miss her, but I'll always have memories of that smiling face & her friendship. My deepest sympathies to her husband & family.

I wish to offer my deepest sympathy to the Collins-Fine family. Pat was one of the most beautiful people both outside and inside. She helped me through a very tough time four months ago with her love and encouragement. I will always be grateful for her support and friendship. May God bless and watch over all of you.

My deepest sympathy goes to the family of Pat. I had not seen Pat since we graduated from high school, but recently reconnected with her via facebook. It was great sharing stories about our families, Muskogee, and our love for the Lord. I certainly will miss my high school and online friend! Loretta Stanley Florence, SC

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Pat Collins Fine. I knew Pat in high school. We were both in the graduating class of 1969. I haven't seen Pat in many years, but we, like many others from our class, reconnected on Facebook. Pat was always such an encouragement to me with her cheery remarks about the things I posted. I know you will dearly miss her and my prayers are for you and your family in the coming days. May God grant you peace and comfort in your loss.

Gina and family, Many prayers today and tomorrow for you all! I never met your mother except for the wonderful loving words you spoke; expressing her love for others and her strong faith! What an inspiration she was to me to hear of her kindness and love. She was an earth angel that cared for so many through her years in the work that she did! I will be here for you all and want you all to know that I am praying and thinking of you all! Much Love! :) Kathleen

Gina, Laura, and Becky (and the entire clan), although we never met Pat, we feel like we knew her just through Gina's families conversations about all of you and the huge family you have. We are deeply saddened for your loss. Our prayers are with you. God will carry you through these days and through the years to come. May God Bless you all! Love and hugs to you all! <3 Amy, Kevin, Aly and Spencer Colson

I would like to express my sympathy and condolences to Pat's family. I have known Pat since Jr High and though out of touch for a few years, had been brought back together through Facebook. I will always remember her as someone who was funny (could make me laugh) and sweet with a heart of gold. I particularly remember when I would sleep over when she was living on Bacone campus and the ghost stories we scared ourselves with. We were talking about getting together whenever I made it back to Muskogee/Tulsa. She will be missed by many. Know that she is at peace now and in no pain.

Aunt Pat will truly be missed. I will miss all the comments she sends to me on facebook ;-) Love you all.. Rest in Peace Aunt Pat!

Gina, Laura, Becki, Barry and all family... My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.. Aunt Pat will truly be missed. I will miss her daily comments that she always posted to my facebook status and to every picture I added.. She was a great woman and will be missed by many.. Even though I haven't seen her in a long time, we kept up with each other.. Rest in Peace Aunt Pat and I love you!
