She was strong and independent. She loved her family and raised her two children Paula and Robert alone. She kept in touch with all her nieces and nephews. Pat received her CNA in 1985 and worked until she retired. She then began full-time volunteer work. She volunteered at the Humboldt summer food program, Humbolt Senior Center, and various nursing homes, including, Heritage Healthcare until she moved in as a resident; even then she still helped the other residents. Pat loved her flowers and liked being outdoors as much as possible. She liked to walk outside and ride the bike in the PT room.
