After retirement, Pat enjoyed many passions. She had a green thumb, growing many delicious vegetables and
beautiful flowers, she loved puzzles, loved watching all sports, from ice skating, Nascar, basketball, baseball and
football, and anything Indiana Hoosiers. She loved her fur babies and her Coca-Cola . She loved scratching lottery
tickets and pulling the reel at the casino. Pat loved to love, always making friends where ever she went. She had a heart of gold, never hesitating to help
someone out. She loved to sing and dance, definitely living up to her signature phrase “Who has more fun”, She
definitely did. Even at the end of her life, Pat found a way to smile and laugh through everyone''s tears.
She was strong in her faith for Jesus Christ and her memory will forever live on through the lives of her children and
grandchildren.
Pat will be cremated and a private celebration of life will be held at a later date per Pats wishes.
