  4. Pat Nolan was one of the most loving women that we have ever known. We know her as a fantastic docent who always made people around her so comfortable.

    We first met Pat and her daughter Marie through Judo where I had the privilege to be the judo instructor of Pat’s lovely granddaughters. Pat was supporting her granddaughters in their chosen activity. What a wonderful family!

  5. I was blessed to have Pat on my team,when I was a Tuesday morning docent at the zoo. She was a wonderful teacher, a great listener,and a caring friend. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a willing smile. My condolences to her family. Pat will be missed by All who knew her.

  6. When I started as a docent I had the pleasure of working with Pat on so many occasions and looked forward to her “tell it like it is” attitude. She made me laugh so many times and her spirit added so much to the docent program. She is going to be truly missed.

  7. Patricia was always nice to see at the Zoo and chat on many occasions. I myself was a docent. And I know the dedication and her love for the Zoo was known by all. As a Zoo employee there is not a single person here that does not know and apricate all the time and work docents just like Patricia give to the zoo and it is what makes RWPZOO such a great place to work for those that visit. She will be missed.
