She was born October 18, 1959 in Willard, Ohio; one of nine children, the daughter of the late George Woodrow Shirey and Wanda Charlyne Jamerson. Also preceding her in death are six of her eight brothers. Pat was a beacon of kindness and strength, whose faith in Jesus shone brightly through her love for her family and friends. Her nurturing nature and radiant smile left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her career in the food service industry was marked by dedication and excellence. She brought joy and efficiency to every role she embraced at Lowes Foods, Walmart Deli Department, and Golden Corral.
