Patricia A. Harrier, 64, of Austin, PA passed away Wednesday (December 27, 2023) at her home in Austin with her husband by her side.
Born May 18, 1959, in St. Mary’s, Pat was the daughter of Elmer and Betty (Heivly) Stengel. She grew up “on the hill” in a family-built pink house in Emporium.
Pat is a 1977 graduate of Cameron County High School, and she attended the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. She served as Township Secretary for Shippen and Roulette Townships for many years.
Pat loved music and attending concerts with her husband Bill. A self-described hippie, Pat could often be found flashing a peace sign while singing and dancing to her favorite songs. She also enjoyed gardening and loved animals, especially her cats and dog Whitman.
The United Way Student Ambassadors at Bradford Area High School are proud to announce the success of their recent Penny Wars fundraiser, which raised an impressive $500 to contribute to the United Way’s Annual Campaign. The initiative aimed not only to raise a sense of community and philanthropy within the school but also to support the broader mission of the United Way in the local region.
