In Memoriam

By: Human Resource Manager

We were all saddened by the passing of Pat Lawler, a beloved friend, colleague and former executive of Quadax, Inc. Pat passed away on July 23, 2007, after a long illness.

Pat’s legacy is significant; she was the first employee hired in July 1973 when Quadax was established, and she worked hard to build the data entry business that first gave Quadax its foothold in the healthcare industry. She was a key contributor to the success of the company that we know today. The original keypunch cards and magnetic tapes have become relics in this age of ANSI-standard transactions and Document Imaging OCR, but the data entry business laid an important foundation for the company. As Pat said in an interview at the occasion of her 30th anniversary with Quadax, she was gratified that the solid core of data entry that she managed for so many years enabled other areas of the company to grow and develop.

Pat’s career as a Vice President and Partner continued for over 32 years. She retired from Quadax in late 2005 with plans to travel but instead found herself facing a difficult diagnosis. The strength and courage she displayed throughout her life, but particularly during her last ordeal, serves as an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She will be missed and never forgotten.
