She was the loving daughter of the late Billy I. Fenton (Grace Ogden) and Evelyn E. Fenton Evans (Calvin). She was Catholic by faith.

Patricia grew up in the area of Clearfield known as Paradise. She lived her entire life on the family homestead, where she along with her husband raised their two children and many others in the neighborhood. She gave with all her heart and everyone who knew her felt the love that she freely shared with those around her. Many have said that Patricia (Aunt Pat) has been a second mother to them. Her back porch was always open to anyone who needed to talk, visit, or simply sit back and relax.

Patricia was a graduate of Clearfield Area High School Class of 1970. After graduating, Patricia enrolled in Clearfield County Vo-Tech to pursue a career in nursing.
