She had two brothers and two sisters and was always very close to her siblings and relatives. After high school, Pat moved to Denver to pursue a career following her sister, Shirley.

Pat loved her neighbors, friends and community so very much. She was a true friend and was always near to lend a kind word, a smile and a great story. Those endearing friendships were treasures to Pat.
