Pat was an avid outdoors woman; she loved to hunt and fish. She also was an excellent cook and loved to cook for family and friends. She had recently taken up oil painting and painted beautiful landscapes. She was self employed for most of her life, there was no challenge too big for her. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends and her little dog “Katie”.

The family of Pat would like to give a special thanks to Paul and Leah Carnes foster care home for taking such wonderful care of mom in her final days. Also to Samaritan Evergreen Hospice and the staff at the infusion center of Lebanon Community Hospital for their special care of mom.
