Pat loved to garden, being a part of the Galena Garden Walk for many years. She enjoyed cooking and made the best lasagna ever. Pat opened her home to many dogs and cats and enjoyed drinking earl grey tea while watching her favorite fox and family of squirrels. She appreciated poetry, traveling, and seeing the beauty in all of God’s creations. Everything was art to her creative imagination. Pat was always there to comfort and care for her three boys, and her greatest gift was teaching her sons how to be loving, caring, and responsible adults.
