Pat had a zest for life, lived each day to the fullest and strived to share that passion with everyone around her. Her love for children and the enthusiasm they have for the world lead her to a career in childcare where she was fondly known as Pat-Pat to countless families. Her love of music took flight as a member of the Oakwood Accordion Band, and you would often find her in a lawn chair during the summer listening to the NCR Marching Band at Old River Park. An old farmer at heart, she loved working in the dirt planting, tending a garden and could often be spotted pulling weeds along her morning walks. She was a devout Catholic who gave of herself effortlessly, truly never met a stranger and found immense enjoyment being a member of prayer meeting group at Corpus Christi Church in Dayton where she was a member for over 50 years.
