Pat was born on October 11, 1943 to William Knute Knudsen and Lillian Ada (nee: Betzig) Knudsen.
On October 15, 1966 she was united in marriage to David "Tooler" Barlament at Holy Communion Lutheran Church, where they both remained active members in their parish. Pat was instrumental in organizing the church's Cancer Survivor Group for which she herself was a multiple cancer survivor.
She was a graduate of William Horlick High School, class of 1961. During her high school years, she marched with the Racine Elks Youth Band as a saxophone player.
After graduation, Pat went to work at S.C. Johnson of Racine as an administrative secretary. Pat retired in 1999 after 37 years of service. Her retirement party was held at the S.C. Johnson Wax Council House and hosted by her boss, Neal Nottleson, who was also retiring. Pat was a retired trustee and member of the 20 year club.
Pat enjoyed spending time at their home in Necedah, WI. Both Pat and Dave were active members of the Lions Club in Necedah for 25 years.
Pat was Chief Inspector for Mt. Pleasant voting polls for 12 years. She enjoyed needlepoint, snowmobiling, the Green Bay Packers, and Cranberry Fest in Warrens, WI. Pat was also the organizer for many family reunions that would be held at S.C. Johnson Park and Recreation center. Both Pat and Dave were volunteers at Habitat for Humanity.

Pat was a beautiful person who warmly welcomed my husband and me when we joined Holy Communion Lutheran Church.
She always had a radiant smile and gave herself to others in so many ways. Prayers for her husband Dave and the rest of her family.

She was so kind. I remember when I worked second shift and she came in late asking me to send an urgent telex. She brought treats because of the lateness and the rush. But, it was SHE that was working late. We were already there. She was a gem.
