Remembering Patricia Scully

It is with great regret that we report the passing of Patricia Scully of Suffern, New York.  She was devoted to the Pug breed and to the sport. Patricia was also an AKC judge of Obedience and Rally. She served in various capacities including AKC Delegate, AKC Board of Director, former Pug Dog Club of America Director, President and National Show Chairman. She was an Honorary Lifetime Member of the Pug Dog Club of America, K-9 Obedience Training Club of Essex County, New Jersey, and the Ramapo Kennel Club.

Pat Laurans shared the following words about her passing  ”I served with Pat Scully for four years when I was a member of the Board of Directors. She was someone who loved dogs, especially Pugs, all aspects of our Sport(s) and the AKC. She championed what she believed in and never wavered. No matter how she was, she was always friendly, approachable and upbeat.

We have lost another defender and advocate for all we cherish and believe in. I can still see her arriving at annual meetings wearing a lei of orchids sent to her by the Obedience Training Club of Hawaii… a club she served tirelessly and well. I also remember her bringing a Pug to the Hotel when we had Delegate or Board meetings – and seeing her in the elevator as she took him out for his walks. 

Rest in peace, Pat knowing that you gave your all and did your best in all that you participated in. You, your smile and cheery greetings will be missed.“

Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
