Pat Peters Mourned

On Oct. 24, Patricia “Pat” Rene Peters passed away at her home in Middlebury. Peters had worked as a cook with the College Dining Services since 2006. Her passing was announced in an email sent by Acting Associate Vice President of Human Resources Cheryl A. Mullins.
In the email, Atwater Commons Chef and Catering Manager Ian Martin is quoted, recalling that Peters was “blazingly witty, wicked smart and driven to be more than ‘just’ a cook.”
Additionally, he stated, “[Peters] was well liked by many students and always looked out for their best interest.”
Earlier this year, a crowdfunding site was created through GoFundMe for “Pat’s Cancer Fund,” in which students, friends, and family members could submit donations. On this page, Peters frequently posted updates on her treatment process, ultimately announcing the day of her passing.
At the time Mullins’ email was sent, no funeral arrangements were announced, but those who wish to make a contribution in her memory are encouraged to donate to the HOPE Food Bank.
