Pat had many passions including master seamstress, furniture reupholster, knitting, making dolls and gardening , but her greatest passion was being with her grandchildren: Matt, Jeana, Jason, Heather, Michelle, Brandy, Jeannette, Tana, Pam, Travis, Aaron, Jacob and Nicholas! Pat and Lloyd also spent many vacations traveling the U.S. in their motorhome, visiting family and seeing the country.
Pat was and active member of the Red Hat Society, volunteered at the King’s Daughters Nursing Home, and a devout member of the St. Brigid Catholic Church parish. Along with Lloyd, they were long time members of the Wednesday Euchre Club at the American Legion Berryhill Post 165.
