She lovingly hosted countless holidays and family gatherings, always creating a warm and welcoming home. As a devoted grandmother, she celebrated every milestone and accomplishment of her grandchildren. Pat’s deep faith guided her life. A dedicated member of the Catholic Church and the Altar Society, she generously gave her time—making Christmas wreaths, cooking meals, baking, and helping in any way she could.

She is survived by sons Denny, Doug (Rene), and Steve (Kaye); her brother Robert; sister Jeannette; and her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Larry, son Mickey, brothers Marvin, Kenneth, and Dennis, and sisters Caroline and Sharon.
