Pat was a generous, loving individual, who had a gift to gab. She dearly loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Pat worked at Krogers in Denver during the 1960's and for over 20 years at King Soopers on South College. She loved hiking, biking, visiting places in Colorado, playing and caring for her grandchildren. Her spirit was expressed through the omnichord and singing in the church choir.
