Patricia was united in marriage to James on April 4, 1959, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Wentzville, and together they were blessed with six children: Cindy, Gregg, Pam, David, Missy, and Jamie. Patricia and James were devoted members of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Josephville, where they found community and faith throughout their lives.

Patricia found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved putting puzzles together, searching for treasures at garage sales, quilting, and traveling, especially on family vacations each year. Her home was the heart of every family holiday, always open with room for more, and her warmth and generosity were felt by all who were around.

Patricia cherished time spent with her family, whether it was monthly lunches with her siblings, family, and friends, or moments spent spoiling her beloved grandchildren. She was the glue that held her family together, always present, supportive, and loving.

Patricia will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
