Patricia was a homemaker for much of her life. In her younger years, she enjoyed gardening, canning, and tending to her flowers. She was a wonderful baker with her specialties being cream puffs, donuts, and pies. In her 40s she discovered a passion for quilting and created hundreds of beautiful and unique quilts for her children and grandchildren.  In her later years, Patricia found joy in attending auctions and church bingos. But most of all, she loved spending time with family and treasured these moments. In her final weeks, her heart was filled with happiness watching her great-grandchildren Adam, Luke, and Teddy sing and dance to “Jingle Bells.”

She prayed the rosary every day. She was a faithful member of Immaculate Conception Church for 60 years.   

Patricia will be dearly missed by all who loved her.
