Pat was born February 4, 1944, to Adeline Sweeny and Michael Harrmann in Manhattan, Kansas. Pat and her family moved to Salinas, California where she attended Washington Junior Middle School and then went on to attend Salinas High School graduating in 1961. School years were happy filled with many good friends and memories.

In the summer of 1961, Pat, along with her mother, moved to King City, California. This is where she would meet her future husband, Wendell "Winky" Thommarson. They would marry in December of 1961 and begin their life together. They were blessed with three daughters, Robin, Denise and Nicole.

Pat was involved with the PTA while her girls were in school. She was always there for every activity showing her unwavering support for them. She and Winky loved to play cards with friends each week. She loved to sew and make quilts. They loved spending their summers at the lake with family and friends who became family, the Pozzi's and the Larson's. She and Winky often travelled in their RV to many beautiful places. In her golden years, she loved to read, do puzzles, paint, garden, get a nice manicure and pedicure with her favorite pink color, enjoy Coke over ice and a good chocolate bar but her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family.
