She was the perfect spokesperson for Colorado, sharing with everyone her love of the scenery, the mountains, and the ever-changing weather.

Pat was an impressive golfer, who loved sharing her love of the sport with everyone around her. She traveled often, golfing at some of the best courses around the country. Spending time with her family was important to her, she rarely missed the opportunity to visit with her siblings and many nieces and nephews. Pat was fortunate when she met Sandi (Rog) and Kelli (Linville) when they were children. She brought these wonderful girls into her family and loved them as her own.  A favorite pastime of Pats was to talk about growing up in Chicago and tell old family stories while drinking Miller Lite.

In her professional like, Pat broke the glass ceiling as a female Vice President of ET LaFore Construction. Pat was an amazing person who will be deeply missed by all those whose lives she touched.

A memorial service will be held on a later date. The family asks that donations be made to Heifer International in lieu of flowers. This organization was important to Pat due to their work in providing long term support to villages in third world countries.
