Pat was born May 14, 1928, in Grafton, W.Va., to Guy and Marguerite Wolfe. She attended St. Augustine High School and West Virginia University. It was while she was a student at WVU that she met the love of her life, Don Boylan. Theirs was a love story that lasted 51 years until Don's death. She was a loving, patient mother who raised four children. She said that was her greatest joy and accomplishment. Family meant everything to her. For over twenty years, she and Don hosted a family vacation in Ocean Isle, N.C., for their children and grandchildren. What fun times and memories were made there. Pat was a big fan of WVU football and basketball. For many years she and Don had season tickets to the football games. In later years they watched the games on TV in front of a roaring fire. Pat loved to do crossword puzzles and to play Bridge, playing three times a week at the Woodlands.
