Patricia Ann Holt

Born on September 14, 1931 to William J. and Virginia Drumgold Uehlinger in Corpus Christi, Texas. Pat was raised on a ranch in Big Wells, Texas along with four brothers and one sister. She had many fond memories of growing up in the country and swimming in the river with her siblings.

Pat had a long successful career as a purchasing agent / materials manager for hospitals from Houston to New Mexico. Her strong leadership and organizational skills served her well throughout her career.

Pat was very active in the Catholic Church. She served as a lector and eucharistic minister. She also taught CCD over many years in Silver City, New Mexico and Eldorado, Texas. She was a wonderful mentor and loved her faith, Jesus and Mary. Her students loved her and she was always there for them.

Pat also was a master gardener. After retiring, she spent many hours lovingly working in her yard. She refused any help with lawn edgers and weed eaters and insisted on using a pair of scissors. She received yard of the month many times throughout her life. In addition, she loved to birdwatch. The cardinal has always been her favorite.

Above all else in Pat’s life was the love she had for her family. She was so proud of her four sons and her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. In addition to her family, she was “mom” to many she mentored throughout her life. She also helped raise most of the grandchildren at some point in their lives. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for them.
