The League extends our condolences to Patricia “Pat” O’Malley’s friends, family, and former colleagues. Pat built her career working for the credit union movement and retired as the head of Portland Teachers Credit Union.
“I had the pleasure of knowing Pat as a peer, great friend, and mentor for the last 28 years,” said Scott Harriman, President/CEO of Cumberland County FCU. “She was credit union pioneer who cared deeply about improving the lives of her members. Pat started helping members when she was 16 years old and continued until her retirement at age 62. She truly loved helping people and felt blessed for her long credit union career. I will be forever grateful for the positive influence Pat had on my life.”
