Bom in Dalhousie Twp., Lanark County on Feb. 22, 1941, Pat was the daughter of Mary Cameron and the late Alfred Cameron and the beloved wife of Ralph Howard Watson. Patricia Watson was known to us in many ways: Patricia, Patsy, Pat, Wife, Mum, Gramma and Friend. She was also a pioneer, for in 1968, when she recovered from her first illness she ventured into a world not very accommodating to those confined to a wheelchair. Her participation with groups such as Alpha Huron and The Diamonds has contributed to a more friendly environment to those facing disabilities. She was a traveller, who despite her disability managed to travel across Canada, the United States and Europe. She was a Sports Mum, going to hockey games in some of the old barns of 30 years ago and ball games with the whole team, equipment and her chair all in the van. She was a sports fan, not only local sports but the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs were prime TV fare. Patricia was a strong individual, both emotionally and physically, with a quiet deep conviction in her faith and Jesus. She will be sadly missed by all whose lives were touched by her. Patricia will be sadly missed by her beloved husband Ralph of Brussels, her son Michael Watson and his wife Valerie and grandchildren Lindsay, Andrew, Zachary, and Nathan of RR4, Brussels.
