She was a devoted wife, mother, aunt, and sister.  She loved and cherished her family.  She enjoyed gardening, fishing, embroidery and quilting until her health no longer made that possible.  Patricia was baptized at a young age. 

She spent her life loving and caring for her family and we all are in a better world because of her love.  We will love and miss her for the rest of our lives.  Her other goal in life as you can see from all the children was to love, love, and love.
