On Friday, August 18, 2023, Pat Quinlan died quietly at her Reno, Nevada residence. The only child of Ramie and Meta Shull, Pat moved with her mother from Pueblo, Colorado, to Reno in 1935 when she was three years old.
There, she has lived for the following 88 years. Pat’s mother, who worked full-time as an accountant for a Reno doctor and then the Local Bartender’s Union, significantly impacted her life.
Pat attended the South Side School and graduated in 1951 with the final class from the original Reno High School. She was reared in the same Liberty Street home in downtown Reno, where she later started a family.
Pat was fortunate to have many lifelong friends, and she loved those relationships up until the end. She was actually extremely eager to attend her 1951 classmates’ monthly luncheon on the day of her passing.
