Pat was known for her vibrant personality, contagious smile, and giving heart. She knew how to make everyone around her feel as loved as she was by her Savior. She loved line dancing and playing Hand & Foot with her many friends and empty nesters. She volunteered in many ways: as a “reading buddy”, a home shopper, with Crosslines, delivered meals, ushered at the “Hall”, a guide at HOPE Connection, worked at the airport for the Spfld Visitors Bureau, took communion to shut-ins and generously supported many organizations and agencies. Pat shared the love of Christ on mission trips. She loved to sing old hymns and enjoyed Southern gospel music and attending the National Quartet Convention. Fortunately, Pat was blessed to travel around the world creating many lasting memories with wonderful friends and family.

Visitation will be held at 2pm on Saturday, July 27th with a Celebration of Life service held immediately after at 3pm Greenlawn South. Should friends desire, contributions can be made to Show-Me Christian Youth Home in La Monte, MO.
