Pat loved being a homemaker and caring for her family was the greatest joy of her life. Her heart and home were always open. Pat hosted all the holidays and loved the Halloween and Christmas seasons when her family was gathered. She also enjoyed family camping trips, vacations, going to NASCAR races, watching gameshows and soap operas. She loved pretty things that sparkled and enjoyed picking out jewelry and other fashions.
