Eventually she moved to Arlington Heights and then Buffalo Grove.

She enjoyed cooking and her flowers with her favorite being yellow begonias. She appreciated a good British show, drama or mystery and all her cooking shows. She firmly believed walking was her therapy to keep her sane.

Pat is survived by her children, Lisa Czarnecki and Michael Czarnecki; and her beloved cat, Nippy.
