We would like to share some wonderful memories of Patricia Anne Roberts from Beth Kotarski.
"Pat was hired in the early 2000’s at Haverford. she was working as a nurse in critical care at BM Hospital at the time and she continued on at the hospital on weekends even after starting with Haverford. Pat was instrumental in managing the daily clinic operations at Haverford, and her many nursing skills served the clinics at both Haverford and Bryn Mawr well.
Pat came to Bryn Mawr College a little over 4 years ago, and became the head nurse in 2020. Even with her health challenges, she was an invaluable member of the medical team during the onset of the Covid pandemic and helped to support the college’s response to Covid.
Pat was the quintessential nurse—always calm and cool in a crisis. She touched so many students’ lives with her caring words and practical advice. She was proud mom of 4 children who, along with her husband Tom, were the center of her world. Pat was the best nurse, friend, and colleague anyone could ask for. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her."
