Born November 5, 1932 in Baltimore. Pat went on to become a registered nurse, graduating from St. Agnes Nursing School with lifelong friends Libby Russell Degnan and Mary Redman. In her youth she traveled by steamer ship to Europe and worked as a hospital nurse in Bermuda. She met her first husband, teacher Alfred Moran, while she was working as a school nurse at the same school. Her favorite professional job was working as a public health nurse and helping families.

Known as the fun mom of the community, Pat could be found out on her bicycle, inner-tubing down Winter’s Run with a host of kids in tow, or riding the waves and walking the beaches of Ocean City with her grandkids and kids.

A longtime resident of Towson, Forest Hill, and Ocean City, Maryland, Pat was an engaged member of the community. She was a devoted member of the Ocean City Beautification Committee and the Mayor's New Years’ Day Celebration at City Hall.

Pat met and married her last love, husband Ed Chester, in Ocean City in 2003. They later moved to Annapolis, and have lived there since.

Throughout her life she was the neighborhood RN and beloved friend and neighbor to many. As an only child, her lifelong friends became her family.
