Born on September 9, 1946, Patricia was a woman of deep faith and a heart committed to serving the Lord by serving others. Patricia was a devout Catholic who lived her faith daily and with great devotion. As a former parish religious educator and food pantry volunteer, she served her church and fellow parishioners with dedication and devotion. She was the embodiment of kindness and love. Her faith sustained her, shaped her, guided her, brought her great joy and comforted her. She may be one of the purest examples of God's love on this earth to all who knew her heart.

She spent more than two decades advocating for child welfare, offering her protection and providing her guidance to countless families through her role with the Department of Human Services.

Patricia loved her family with ferocity and gave unselfishly of her time, wisdom and love. She never failed to give praise and ensure her love was felt.
