Bama worked as an ER RN in various hospitals in the New Orleans and the south Louisiana area. She worked as a traveling nurse at St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco, CA. from 2005 to 2015 when she retired from nursing.
Bama traveled the world. She traveled to China, Antarctica, Chile, Brazil, Australia, throughout the U.S. and other locations. She loved to share her travels and adventures with friends and family.
One of her passions was cooking for others by feeding them one of her many dishes. The more you ate the more she smiled. She passed the love of cooking on to family and friends.

She will be missed by her siblings, Ed (Marjorie) Patrick of Omro, WI., Margaret (Paul Brown) Young, St. Petersburg, FL and Randy (Noel) Patrick of Youngsville, LA and a score of nieces and nephews and countless friends.
