Pat worked at GE for many years and later Tee Pak until her retirement. However, music was her passion which was evident from her ability to play many different instruments. She followed her faith to different churches over the years where she would play music for different events. Most recently, Pat played the piano and organ at Hillery Assembly of God until the Fall of 2025. She and Ted also led Sunday school ministry at nursing homes for several years and worship events at multiple churches. In addition to being a testament of faith to her family, Pat loved to cook for them as well and was especially known for her noodles, pies, and toll house bars.

Pat will be deeply missed and be remembered for her faith, love of music, kindness and generosity, her cooking, and her smile which would light up any room she was in.

Her family would also like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Accolade, Traditions Hospice nurse Amy, and Hailey Cundiff for their loving and supportive care.
