She married Donald Lane Wallace on 22 July 1956, in Sylacauga’s Mignon United Methodist Church.

She raised her daughters as a single parent, proudly supporting them in their college educations, marriages, and life changes. After her retirement from Avondale in 1998, Pat supported Mignon United

Methodist Church as their church secretary for several years. She was a devoted member of the

Mignon family for as long as she lived in Sylacauga. Pat enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and she loved sitting with them to read, draw, or build.
