With profound sadness for the recent passing of our colleague Pat Mingle, we take this opportunity to remember Pat for her long career and outstanding contributions to the success of Hodges Advertising Associates. Joining Hodges in 1981, Pat was a key member of our team through the end of 2024. Among her many notable accomplishments, she signed ESAB Welding & Cutting Products and served as their Account Executive for many years, making inroads as she steered marketing efforts for a predominantly male industry. Pat also served as the Account Executive for Fayetteville's PWC for more than 35 years. Pat’s success in business was a reflection of how she lived her life – with compassion, care, reliability, commitment, and the utmost integrity. For Pat, “beyond the call of duty” was simply routine. Pat’s passion for her clients and her work were evident many times over – like when she took a welding course to gain a true understanding of ESAB’s products. And, helping PWC educate their customers with cost-saving conservation and storm safety messaging, voluntarily working with their communications team during a major hurricane. Pat will be deeply missed by all of us at Hodges, and, by the community at large, including all those touched by her charitable endeavors.
