In Memory of Pat Wolfe
One of the most popular questions asked during an initial visit to Pat's Place is, "Who is Pat?"
Pat's Place is named in memory of Patricia "Pat" Wolfe, a tremendous child advocate for the Charlotte community who passed away on May 7, 2000. As a former juvenile court counselor, social worker, and case advocate, Pat was well-known for the passion she had to assist children in need. She often used her own finances to help "her kids" buy food, clothing, or pay for daycare and personal needs. After more than 30 years of working with youth throughout Mecklenburg County, it was not uncommon for grown adults to call Pat or stop in to visit her because they were so appreciative of the compassion she had shown for them as children.
Prior to her sudden passing, Pat was involved in the planning process for opening an advocacy center in Charlotte that would assist children specifically involved in sexual abuse cases. Today, that center is known as Pat's Place in honor of a woman who gave her all to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in our community.
