Pat was born in Hays, Kansas, to John and Josephine Grabbe on January 14, 1939.

While growing up on her family's farm and being heavily involved with 4-H, she discovered her passion for fashion, sewing, cooking, interior design, and entertaining. Pat won many prestigious 4H and Who's Who state-wide awards for her leadership in many areas of accomplishment. Pat moved to Denver, Colorado, to start a modeling career and while attending modeling classes she landed a job as the secretary to the Vice President of Exploration, Land, and Development of Chevron Oil, Western division.

She married William Allen, an IBM Systems Engineer, on March 7, 1964. Bill was transferred to Chicago, Illinois in 1969, and in 1972, their daughter Julie was born. Pat, Bill, and Julie moved back to Colorado in 1977 but moved to the suburbs in Englewood.

Pat started her own home accessory business "Brass and Copper Etc." and also dove into the interior design industry. Pat was the sales director for the Colorado Garden and Home Show, Sales manager for the Rocky Mountain Electronics Expo, and assisted and managed various on-site new home sales communities. Pat's only daughter Julie, gave birth to her twin granddaughters, Mackenzie and Madison in 2007. Pat left home sales and worked part-time for International Villa and took care of her granddaughters 2 days a week until she retired in 2012. Since retirement, Pat kept herself busy spending as much quality time with her loving granddaughters "the twins" and the rest of her friends and family.

Friends and family of Pat will remember her kind, caring, graceful, and loving light that made everyone feel special, valued, and loved. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
