We have lost another friend

It may be that not a lot of you know her, and it seems that she has not been on here since the beginning of Covid.
Pat Veretto's daughter posted on Facebook that she passed peacefully in her sleep. Another friend from here asked if I would share.
This is the link to Pat's profile
She was another long time friend on the Lot. I do always think of her good living choices and her antique washing machine for her profile picture.
If I ever suffer a long term illness, I will try to let you know, and I will do my best to leave things with some closure.
Rest in peace to all of our friends we have lost.

Thank you, Heather, I took time to come here to view her profile. She also had a blog and wrote about being frugal and when I looked through our messages, I noted that she was the one who helped me when I first started canning jam and harvesting dandelions.
I am really going to miss her, she had so much wisdom, I am sure I didn't learn nearly as much from her as I could. Here is her blog if anyone is interested.
Want to make your money go further and do what you want it to? Frugal living can be the fun answer to making your financial life easier and better.

Thank you for adding this, @Carmelanirel2. I enjoyed visiting her, and had just recently been wondering where she was, and her antique washing machine image.

@GardenGerty We kept in touch on Facebook and I would comment on her blog sometimes, I actually looked at my last comment about something she was doing called knitting leaves for fall decorating. I said I was going to look it up and I didn't, so I am going to do that tonight.

@GardenGerty I learned about mashed potato salad from her too. She and her daughter liked that version of potato salad the best.

It never hurts to ask. I had a coworker who got her fingers in a wringer machine as a child and crushed them.

Her profile pic is an older style washing machine common in the US in the late 60s or early 70s. I remember mom using one like that when I was a kid.

RIP..yes I so remember this lovely friend Pat. Thank you for letting us know Heather.
I will miss her.
I noticed she had not been on here for a good long while.
I also knew she had been ill so she had said.

I am going to guess that her daughter who posted the news on Facebook did not know to come here. @Carmelanirel shared her blog link as well.

NO!! 
Oh, that's so awful to hear. I didn't even realize she was on here.
I knew her on Chatabout, and I knew her from the Dollar Stretcher forums, and I even remember when she did the frugal living pages on About.com. I'm so sad to learn this. I'm glad she went peacefully.

She probably would have been here at different times of day than you are.

She was on here almost as long as I was, and I think she Bubbled as well. @spiderdust remembers her from several places.

It is hard to know everyone, even when you have been here a long time.

Peavey's gone? 
I wondered why she wasn't around.
Loved that washer.

I know sometimes people are here but it is not when I am here. Her little washer crossed my mind lately.

@GardenGerty You're welcome.
Very true. It's also possible that she never wrote a discussion I found interesting. (If I can't think of anything to say, I keep on going and find someone I know and am interested in talking with. *shrug* I'm only human.)
