Patricia Grace Aulgur (Coolidge) 

January 30, 1957 – September 22, 2025

Patricia “Pat” Grace Aulgur, 68, passed away on September 22, 2025.

Pat lived a life filled with compassion, dedication, and a deep love of animals and family.

She is survived by her two children, William Todd Aulgur (Angela) and Anna Patricia Klement; and her cherished grandchildren, Connor, Ronan, Evie, and Belle. Pat was a beloved sister to William Coolidge (Tracy), Scott Coolidge (Joda), Pam Murphy (Jay), Jeff Coolidge (Shirlee), Jill Conte (Jeff), and Todd Coolidge (Melissa).

Pat grew up in Newark, Delaware before going to high school in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, nursing school at the Arnot Ogden School of Nursing in Elmira, New York, and then returned to the Newark area.

Pat’s lifelong love of animals, especially horses and dogs, was central to who she was. As a young woman, she was the president of the Middletown Pony Club. Pat was the navigator of a single horse driving team which competed in competitions throughout the U.S. and Europe. She and her driving partner were the top finishers in the 2010 World Championships.

Her professional life was spent in service to others. Pat had a long and distinguished nursing career, specializing as a member of the Vascular Access team at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. After returning to nursing through the University of Delaware’s RN Refresher Program in 2009, she not only rejoined the profession with passion but also went on to serve as a clinical preceptor, mentoring others entering the field. Her patients, colleagues, and students all benefited from her warmth, skill, and steady guidance.

Outside of her career, she enjoyed nothing more than spending time with family and friends, baking, and being an avid reader. She was also an avid fan of the Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers.

Her love, laughter, and infectious smile, along with her commitment to those around her, will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who knew her.

Funeral arrangements are being handled by R.T. Foard Funeral Home of Newark, Delaware. Information regarding a celebration of life will be forthcoming in the next several weeks.
