Pat enjoyed RVing and cruising/traveling throughout the world, most recently Mexico and the Dominican Republic. She also enjoyed gardening, decorating for and hosting family for holidays and special gatherings.

She was without a doubt the most devoted, loving, caring and dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and good friend to so many and we all loved her so much. Words cannot describe how greatly she will be missed, and will live on in our memories and hearts forever.
