For many years, Pat was a homemaker, and she cherished the opportunity to raise her four children. For the past fourteen years she was employed by SET Enterprises in New Boston. She performed many tasks including working in shipping and receiving, and interacting with customers and performing sales. Pat enjoyed arts and crafts and was employed by Crafts 2000 for the past few years. She often brought home bags of treasure to fuel her "habit". Pat always placed her family as the number one priority. She especially loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren. Pat was an extremely generous and giving individual, and her children fondly recall her constant concern for their well-being. She enjoyed reading and her favorite perch was on her outdoor balcony where she enjoyed mystery and romance novels. Pat would also count collecting candles and watching television and movies as her other favorite pastimes.
