Pat loved to dance, listen to music, go camping, fishing and the outdoors. She also loved the holidays and gathering family and friends for food and festivities. During Christmas season the family would decorate the whole front yard and house with lights and figurines. She enjoyed riding around the area seeing everyone else's lights and their creativity. She loved gardening vegetables, flowers, and trees. She could grow anything. She would grow award winning roses and tear your butt up if you took a bat to them, as her youngest child found out the hard way. Her yard is filled with flowers and love everywhere. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. For the family and friends who cannot be with us, we invite you to join ZOOM live stream on Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. CDT.
