Pat will be dearly missed by her loving extended family and many close friends who had all been by her side for many years. She will be meeting her predeceased son, Allan Carter, father, Gordon Howard, mother, Ellen Howard, as well as her sister Edith Betts in Heaven. In her early teens she met her husband, Bert. Married by 19 and 20, they celebrated 65 years of marriage in August 2024. Manitoba born and raised, they later moved across the country to Victoria, BC. Pat became a nurse while Bert had enlisted in the RCN. Pat committed her time to helping others and raising her son and daughter. After Berts retirement from the Navy, Pat and he became business and lifetime partners in more ways than one. Where Bert was, Pat would not be far away, from road trips to Mexico to staycations at Nanoose Bay and Carters Pond. She always enjoyed a game of crib and a dark rum & coke. She was known to have a great care for wildlife and her garden at Carters Pond. As a 40-year member of the Lions Club, Pat was no stranger to helping others. She volunteered to drive the Seniors Housing residents, CNIB members to bowling practice and held the line at the Lions pancake breakfasts. The family would like to extend a special thanks to long time family friends the Macks, especially Teresa, and the nurses, doctors, and all staff at the Nanaimo Hospital Palliative Care Unit. As well as Al, who created an accessible environment for Pat in her own home, in these later years.
