A creative soul, Pat could decorate any space and make it look stunning. She loved simple pleasures and enjoyed her home, cooking, knitting, gardening, and her coloring books. Pat loved boating, traveling, and was especially fond of trips to the casino and hanging out with her best friends, sipping on a "good martini."
