Pat lived a full and vibrant life, deeply rooted in her community and enriched by the arts. She was a member of the Quad City Symphony and actively involved in several organizations, including the Elks, CASI, the Bix Society, and the Plus 60 Club. Through these groups, she formed lasting friendships and remained engaged in the social and cultural life of the Quad Cities.

An avid traveler, Pat delighted in exploring new places. She loved to dance and had a special appreciation for jazz music. Whether attending events, listening to music, or enjoying time with friends, she embraced life with enthusiasm and grace.

Above all else, family was her greatest joy. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and she especially cherished time spent with her grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure.
