Her parents instilled within her a great love of education. She was a true pioneer of women; she graduated from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana with a degree in Chemistry, at a time when not many women went at all. Pansy worked as a medical technologist for many doctors in the Hot Springs area including Dr. Joseph Rosenswag, Dr. Haynes Jackson, and Dr. Walter Klugh. She later retired as the Director of Chemistry from St. Joseph Hospital where she obtained much recognition as a woman in her field. She was very conscientious when examining results, often repeating tests if something seemed less than accurate.
Along with her brilliant mind Pansy also had many interests and hobbies. She loved music and dancing and was in a dance band in college that played every weekend; she was talented enough to play several instruments. She was also a gifted gardener, something she enjoyed into the very late years of her life. She extended this love as a Charter Member of Garvan Woodland Gardens.
Pansy was an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church and shared her faith with others by teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir and was a benefactor of the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home for Girls. She was also a member of the Arkansas Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star and the Dorcas Guild.
Pansy and her husband, Nicholas, passed their love of learning to their three children Nicholas C. Lascaro, Anna Jean Geltner, and Susan Antoinette Lascaro. Pansy is survived by her three children, three grandchildren, one great grandchild and her church family at Westminster Presbytarian.
