Pat was born and raised in Nashville, TN and moved to Memphis, TN in the 1950’s where she lived until 2024. She lived a life defined by hard work, devotion, and a deep love for her family. She began her working years at Cain‑Sloan during high school, wrapping gifts and serving as a switchboard operator. Over the decades, she held roles that reflected her reliability, professionalism, and warm presence: Secretary at Union Avenue Church of Christ; Administrative Assistant and Office Manager at BFM, Incorporated; Receptionist at Raleigh Group Pediatrics; and Billing Manager at both Peterbilt of Memphis and DACO Trailer Leasing.

A proud graduate of Cohn High School, Pat was a cheerleader, a member of the tennis team, part of the National Honor Society, and an attendee of Girls State. She later attended David Lipscomb College, continuing her lifelong commitment to learning and service.

Pat loved dogs, Christian music, and gardening, but her greatest joy came from time spent with her grandchildren and great‑grandchildren. Her gentle spirit, steady presence, and unwavering love will be remembered by all who knew her.
