Pat Menard was born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana and moved to <br />Houston in August 1957. She managed an apartment complex after her <br />husband died in 1975. Pat said that "managing the apartments gave <br />her the opportunity to be with her five children at home while <br />working." Later she went to work for Bayshore Hospital as an <br />Admitting Manager. The hours got to be too much for her, 7 AM to 11 <br />PM, so she decided to go to San Jacinto Junior College and take <br />Computer Science. <br />In 1980 she went to work for the City of La Porte in the Water <br />Department. Pat has served as Water Supervisor, Tax Collector and <br />Cash Management Supervisor. In 1983 she helped with implementing <br />the computer system the City is presently operating. <br />Pat said she has enjoyed seeing the growth of La Porte with the <br />annexation of Lomax, Collegeview, Spenwick and Baymud. She will <br />miss the daily friendships and companionships but will be in the <br />near vicinity to visit often. <br />She plans to travel some and do some of the things she never had <br />time to do while working, like enjoying her five grandchildren <br />more. <br />Pat feels very rewarded in being a part of the La Porte community <br />and hopes that she has been of some service to the many people she <br />has met in the last 15 years. We all know she has been of great <br />service and will be missed. <br />A retirement party for Pat Menard will be held on Wednesday, <br />January 31, from 4 to 6:00 PM in the council chambers at La Porte <br />City Hall. <br />
