Pat was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida. She graduated from Huntingdon College in Alabama. Her brother Carl McNair, a West Point cadet, introduced her to another West Point cadet by the name of Charles Singletary whom she was married to for over 60 years. Their moves were extensive given their career with the Army.

Chuck and Pat focused the second half of their career in full-time ministry including with The Navigators, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, founding of CRM (now Novo). Pats involvement included leadership with Briarwood's women's Shepherding and Circle ministries. She also had leadership roles with Bible Study Fellowship and Community Bible Study. She greatly loved the opportunity to minister to women in the retirement homes where she spent her last 10 years including Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community and The Crossings at Riverchase. All who knew Pat witnessed her Love for the Lord and her God given infectious smile!

A Memorial service will be held on Friday July 17, 2026 at Briarwood Presbyterian Church at 2:00 p.m.
