Patricia Adora Theresa Loncke (1945-1983) BA, M. Phil., LRSM, LTCL. Outstanding Musical Composer.
Educated at Queenstown R. C. School, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.
She grew up surrounded by music. Her mother held the ATCL and LRSM diplomas in music and gave piano lessons.

Her paintings won prizes at Jamaica National Festival 1970, and she was awarded a Certificate for Creative Dance at UWI.
It was in Musical Composition that she excelled. One early composition at St. Rose’s was a song sung by the whole school to greet the Mother Superior of The Ursuline Convent on her feast day. She wrote in Jamaica “The Silk Cotton Tree,” “Country Holiday,” and “Variations on Folk Songs” for violin. An early achievement was “Kiskadee” published by the Guyana National History and Arts Council.
