It is with deep sadness, beyond description, that we inform you of the loss of our cherished District Two leader, Patricia (Pat) Martin.

Due to Pat’s Irish fortitude, she attended the recent District Two conference, while unknowingly dealing with walking pneumonia. Her will to be with her District Two friends and colleagues and her desire to constantly guard over us, will never be witnessed again within our district.

Pat was the cornerstone of our community. She shouldered every burden, while relinquishing any accolade to others. Ever so generous, compassionate, and selfless, she directed and served with unwavering commitment; successfully sustaining and growing District Two.

Her devotion and dedication to District Two, AAF National and the entire advertising industry was second-to-none.

For those of us privileged to have known and worked with Pat, it was truly an honor. She will be missed, but, she will remain in our hearts, forever.

We will inform you of further details as we learn more from her family and we will be planning a special tribute to her long and tireless dedication to District Two and AAF National.
