She married first, March 9, 1942, in Littleton, ME, to Earl Rodney Adair (b. January 27, 1923, in ME, d. December 27, 2003, in ME). They were married about one year before divorcing. Pat said that he was a merchant seaman and was gone much of the time, while she was alone in rural Houlton, ME. He remarried and had eight daughters.
During World War II, Pat worked as a secretary for the government, residing in 1944 at Colorado Springs, CO.
She married second, October 27, 1946, in Roxbury (Boston), Suffolk Co., MA, Everett Harold Merryfield (b. March 3, 1927, in Franklin, NH, d. August 2, 2003, in Dover, NH).

Pat and Everett Merryfield rented for a few years in Northwood, NH, before building a house next to her parents on Route 4 in Nottingham, NH. They resided in Nottingham until 1973 and moved permanently in 1977 to Kissimmee, FL, after being "snow birds" for three previous winters. They removed to Lady Lake, FL, in October 1987, and also resided at Groveland, Minneola, and Eustis, FL, before returning to NH in 1999.
