She then worked for Prairie Farmer Magazine for 6 years in Chicago before moving to Neenah working for J. J. Keller and Associates. Pat retired as an Editor after being employed there for 37 years. Pat enjoyed being social and was a member of the Red Hat Society as well as St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Neenah. She was a devout Catholic and felt a sense of family with this parish.
