Pat had an incredible talent and passion for sewing, quilting, crocheting, cross stitching, and many other artistic crafting. Also, she enjoyed golfing, gardening, and sharing her love to family and friends.  A swimmer winning many awards in high school, also played basketball and softball in school.  She was known for her warm, caring, and funny personality and will be greatly missed.
