She was born in Chicopee, Mass., on March 30, 1939, a daughter to the late Walter Gniady, Sr., and Minnie Riff. She was affectionately called 'Pat' or 'Patty' by her family and friends. After her father's death in 1942, Pat moved with her mother and brother to New Hampshire where she resided for the rest of her life. She is survived by her daughters, Mitzi Clark of Jacksonville, Fla., and Eva Marie Mickiewicz (and husband Walter) of Enville, Tenn. She was predeceased by her daughter, Lisa Morris.

In addition, she leaves a host of family and friends who will miss her dearly. Pat was a graduate of Stratford High School in North Stratford. She was a member of the Colebrook, N.H. congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. She had unwavering faith in the Bible throughout her life and she shared her hope with anyone who would give her a listening ear. She looked forward to the Bible's promise of a resurrection to everlasting life on a soon-to-come paradise earth. Pat was a neat and tidy person and liked to see everything clean and in its proper place. She enjoyed classic country music and two of her favorite artists were Doc Williams and Kitty Wells. She spent the last few years of her life in the Coös County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown. Pat said she was treated kindly there and that the food was good. She loved the resident cats, Toby and Bella, and said they would sometimes come to her room to visit. Pat’s family would like to thank the staff for their compassionate care.
