She treasured her two sons and grandchildren and embraced every moment shared with them. She had a loving, yet bubbly personality and always made people around her laugh, making friends everywhere she went.

She was a devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals and loved watching game shows. Pat was employed at King Radio, an avionics firm in Olathe, Kansas, for many years until she retired. Pat gave her life to Christ at an early age and united with St. Luke Methodist Church in Mexico, MO, and she later rededicated her life as an active member of the United Believers Community Church. She was grateful for her loving church family and spiritual guidance under the direction of Pastor Darron LaMonte Edwards, Sr. Her life was a living example of her faith.
