So Sorry
I had the pleasure of meeting Pat in 2008 when I started teaching in Coatesville. No matter what was going on, Pat always put others first. She was one of the most caring, giving, and postive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She has touched so many people and she will never be forgotten.
I will miss her!
Pat was a caring person who loved her job and all her students. As an administrator, she was interested in meeting the needs of all our students.
She helped our special ed team at school and put other people's needs ahead of her own. She was a very special lady!!
I am so sorry to hear of
I am so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I worked with Pat as a math teacher at Coatesville from 2000-2005. She was a marvelous,caring,loving teacher! She was always there early and the last one to leave and she dedicated her heart and soul to her students. I wish that I had known that she was sick because I would have loved to have had the opportunity to contact her during her illness. Unfortunately, I just heard of her passing. My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family on the passing of such a wonderful human being. What a loss for us all!
Sincerely,

For Pat's family
I went to school with Pat and she was always very mature and loving
for her age. She cared about our classmates and was always willing
to help someone in need. She worked with my daughter and everyone
on the job spoke highly of her and loved her very much. Her sickness
and passing has been a great loss to them. When ever I saw her
she always had a big warm smile on her face. May our heavenly
father comfort her family. Sincerely Jeanne Taylor Compton
May God Comfort You
May God comfort you in the loss of dear Pat. She was always so kind to teachers and students. She will be fondly remembered.
My God guid you during this time
I will be praying for the entire Rubincan family. Mrs Rubincan was a wonderful teacher, and will always hold a special place in my heart for her. I was blessed and honored to have her as a tutor while I was a student at Coatesville. Even when she was not teaching me she welcomed me into her class room to visit and talk. I even enjoyed going to visit her after I graduated from school. I will alway remember her and hold her memory near to me. May God be with you all during this time. She was one of God's angels and now she is with him in peace in heaven.

What a great person your Mom was.
We were all blessed by knowing your Mom. She was one of the nicest, kindest, most inspirational women I've ever known. Pat had a huge heart which was evidenced by her love for her family, students and co-workers. We taught together many years ago and coached tennis for Special Olympics. I will cherish those memories. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time.
To Pat's Family: We are so sorry for your loss
Truly, Pat's passing is a great loss for all who ever knew her, however briefly. She was a wonderful, sweet, good person. When our child attended school in the Coatesville Area District, Pat was a Godsend. She worked closely with our child, and us, to help surmount learning difficulties. Pat remained supportive and loving throughout, with never a harsh word, and always with a smile. We can't begin to tell you how much your dear Patty meant to us in those days, and even after; she remained interested in our child's progress long afterwards. Our regret is that we had not been in touch with Pat for the last few years. We would have wanted to try to be as supportive of her in her difficult times as she had been during ours. Our hearts and prayers are with you.
With a contagious
With a contagious smile,unconditional compassion, and unsurpassed enthusiasm, Pat was a champion for students and an inspiration to coworkers. I so enjoyed working with her. I miss our "chats." Her grace and gentle spirit live in all she touched. My heartfelt condolences to the family that she loved so much.
I have only known Pat about
I have only known Pat about 2years. Our relationship was because of my son as a student in Coatesville. I enjoyed our conversations and was grateful for all she did to help our son get the help he needed. I send my deepest sympathy.
We wanted to pass on our
We wanted to pass on our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to all of you. Your mom was an incredible person. She helped our family with kindness, compassion,understanding and willingness to listen when noone else would. She helped validate us as parents of a special needs child. She truly cared about what happened to our son Russell and for the last 7 years was almost solely instrumental in his success through those years. I truly believe he would not be where he is today if it weren't for your mother's help with his IEP and understanding his particular needs. In our long meetings, she used to tell me about all of you and your children. She was so proud of each and everyone of you. I now work as a special ed one on one aide for the district for the sole purpose of giving back some of what she gave. She used to ask me all the time to come work for her because I was one of those involved parents.. I finally did and I hope I made her job alittle lighter by requiring her alittle less at our school and easing her work load. I respected your mother's wisdom and took it to heart. My son is now accepted into the Widener Engineering program with a wonderful scholarship because of his good grades. We will be indebted to your mom for the rest of our lives and so will my son. I just wanted you all to know the she really affected his life in a very positive way and has helped make him the person he is today. We think the world of your mother and always will. I will go to work everyday in her honor and try to continue the compassionate work that she offered to all students all the time. Please know how sorry we are for all the tragedies you have had to endure over the last couple of years. May God bless all of you during this difficult time. And thank you once again for sharing your mom with all of us.
