Ms. Cockrell was a fine person. I am sorry for your loss.
I was fortunate enough to work in PACU when Patti was our Director of Surgical Services. She was a true giver, wanting the best for the OR and her staff. She was a shoulder for me at a tough time in my life. Sandra
Ms.Patty was simply AWESOME, she was a pleasure to work with even though she was the Director of Surgical Services at Carteret General Hospital she Always wanted more for the people in her department and she went the Extra Mile to make sure we felt appreciated.
