She married Robert Alexander Harris on June 11, 1965, and together they raised three sons, Rob, Rick, and Ryan.

In the early 1980s, Pat co-founded

Decorative Expressions with her husband Robert, which they have continued for decades as a family fine art business.

Pat's faith in Jesus was the center of her life, and it was unwavering regardless of the trials that she faced during her life.

She later became an adoring Mimi to her three granddaughters, Avery, Ainsley, and Hadley, with whom she enjoyed playing dress up and board games, baking, and outings to Stone Mountain Park.
