The Virginia House of Delegates paid tribute to former longtime VACB leader Pat Satterfield with a memorial resolution presented and adopted on the floor of the House in early February. HR 18 — Celebrating the life of Patricia Goode Satterfield — was drafted by VACB and carried by Del. Terry Austin, who represents the House district in which Pat’s family lived during much of her young life.

A few longtime friends of Pat’s were present in the House Gallery to observe the event. When recognized by the Speaker, Del. Austin rose, welcomed the group, and paid brief tribute to Pat’s many contributions to community banking and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The full House rose in approval of the resolution, and agreed to adjourn later that day in Pat’s memory.

Once VACB receives its copy of the resolution from the General Assembly, it will be displayed in our training center which will soon be renamed in Pat’s honor.
