She was a class of 1967 graduate of Lowell High School. Pat went on to study at Purdue University, where she received her Bachelors in Elementary Education and Library Science (1971), followed by a Masters in Library Science (1973).

Pat loved her family above all. She was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She loved supporting her children and grandchildren in a vast array of sports and extracurricular activities. She had a passion for libraries and reading and loved sharing this passion with her children and grandchildren. She was a woman of many talents, it wasn’t beyond her to finish an entire book in one sitting, help proofread an essay, waterski, or fix one of the best home cooked meals you’ve ever tasted. Gram, Grammy, Mom, Pat, will be missed dearly.
