Pat Graham left the council last year after 14 years of working tirelessly for residents in the borough.
Tributes have come pouring in for a former CEO of Copeland Borough Council after she passed away following a cancer diagnosis.Since learning of her death, Pat has been referred to as a 'role model' and will be remembered for years to come. Pat retired due to ill health from her role as Copeland’s outstanding CEO at the end of last year but the work she did with the council will continue for years to come.
"Pat Graham has been at the heart of making so much of the good that happened possible. I am so sad that circumstances ended Pats career in its prime and her life when she still had so much to give, but I am both thankful and grateful she was the councils Chief Officer for virtually all of my term of office.
"Pat was instrumental in negotiating the external funding that resulted in Whitehaven Campus and more recently the huge multi million pound Town Deals, flood prevention scheme and setting up the Councils unique social inclusion team that has developed numerous programmes to support the most vulnerable in the community and brought in millions of pounds in funding.
"I know I can speak on behalf of all the staff and members of all political persuasions who worked with Pat at the council that she was greatly admired and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. I like many others will miss Pat greatly not least her sharp wit and sense of humour, her life has been cut tragically short but she has certainly left her mark, it was a privilege to know and work with her and I valued her as a friend.
"I know she was proud of our nuclear industry and worked hard to bring investment into our communities. I also know she cared deeply about every employee at Copeland Borough Council, she fought hard to get the best for us.
