Pat's older sister, Maude, played for the Indians.

Pat and Hugh had no children of their own, however no less than 20 nieces and nephews alone on her side of the family. After the death of her husband, she settled in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, where she pursued painting and gave instruction.

Pat was one of a few survivors of a plane crash in Spain. Having sat in the non-smoking section of the aircraft she later felt it her mission to help others quit smoking.

In addition to the information found on this memorial, an obituary in the Virginian-Pilot from September 7, 2005 reported that Pat attended the Nyack Public School System and graduated from Nyack High School in 1948. Of her 6 siblings, only Josepha (Mickey) Perry of Blauvelt survived her.

A funeral was held at the Hannemann Funeral Home in Nyack. Donations in her memory were to be made to the American Cancer Society in Suffern, New York.
