Following graduation, she attended Clarion University and the Pennsylvania State University. She relocated to Philadelphia, working as a customer service representative in the banking system before moving with her son to White Lake, Mich. While a fabulous "hockey-Mom," she obtained her degree in technical writing from Oakland University and was employed by Fanuc Robotics, Rochester Hills, Mich. Pat very much enjoyed the creation of technical manuals for a variety of customized robots, and assisting small businesses to large in the use of the new products.
While at Fanuc, she met her husband and best friend, Gary; they were currently living in Denver, N.C., where they were avid tennis players, golfers and boaters. Pat and Gary both loved gardening, creating a peaceful oasis of beautiful plants, trees and flowers overlooking their corner of Lake Norman.
Pat was a vivacious, charming, mischievous, loving person who will be missed by all. She is survived by her wonderful husband of 21 years, Gary Kowalski; son, Robert Hagemann and wife, Elizabeth; cherished granddaughter, Evalyn, San Francisco, Calif.; stepdaughter, Kelli Kowalski Loan and husband, Chris, Chapel Hill, N.C.; stepson, Corey Kowalski, Grand Rapids, Mich.

She was preceded in death by her father, John P. Antosh; father-in-law, Gene Kowalski; and brother, John F. Antosh.
