The funeral service for Pat McAllister of Moline
will be at 10:30am on Friday
at HOWARD United Methodist Church
My apologies to those who read this earlier, the correct time is 10:30 am and not 10am as this previously read...
You are forgiven and I must commend you for your prompt post of something so many people wanted to know.
Is Pat the one who wrote the Moline News for the Paper? I didn't know she had passed away. It seems like I'd just read her notes!
Yes, Pat wrote the Moline news.
That is certainly sad news. I would read about her "bouts" will an illness, but I never did know what the illness was.
Pat had heart problems.
Visitation will be an hour before the service on Friday and
from 5-8 pm Thursday, at the Howard UMC.
Our love and prayers go out to Pat's family. She will be missed.
