In Loving Memory
Pat Bucknell
The passing of Pat Bucknell marks the end of a life lived with love, kindness, and selfless dedication to others. Her memory will forever be cherished by her loved ones and those fortunate enough to have been touched by her generosity and warmth. Her influence will continue to live on in the lives of those she has left behind.
Pat was one of the founding members of OLCA. She served as the Membership Chair from 1997 until 2021. She was awarded Member of the Year in 2013. And, in 2021, she was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. Pat was a friend and mentor to many of the lactation consultants in Ohio and we will miss her dearly.
