Pat, as she was known to many, attended Louisiana State University, and then worked at Shell Oil Company before meeting and marrying her love, Jack Daly, and raising their three sons. She dedicated her life to her family, attending every function with a smile and much love. She reveled in her children, and never went a day without telling them and showing them how much she loved them. Whether cooking, volunteering at Country Day or just giving a shoulder to lean on, she was always there. She later excelled as a Cruise Agent, helping others and all the while supporting her family. Pat was a member of the Orleans Club and Daughters of the Revolution. Most of all, she loved her family and was always excited to share the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren.
