A resident of the central Missouri area for over 35 years, Pat was employed with the Jefferson City Public Schools for over 25 years until her retirement in May 2014. During those years she was a special education teacher and was passionate about her profession. Her retirement quote was "I believe a teacher's job is to help prepare students to be productive members of society. As teachers, it is our responsibility to give each student our full attention with enthusiasm, compassion and love of our job. We are the role models for their future" She was a member of the Cathedral of St. Joseph and volunteered with numerous organizations. Her greatest aspiration in life was being a mother and she devoted all her energy into loving, supporting and encouraging her children.
