She graduated from Girls Polytechnic High School in 1952.
In 1953 she married Donald W. Wolfe, who preceded her in death in 2019.
Patricia attended the Apostolic Faith Church, and at age fourteen she gave her life to the Lord and was water-baptized in the Clackamas River. She sang alto in the church choir and was entrusted to manage a benevolent fund for the congregation.
In her teens she worked for Jantzen Knitting Mills. Later she was employed by the Federal Reserve and United Bearing Company. At home she cared for her family, raising seven children and fostering other children before and after school hours. She had an interest in local politics and volunteered during elections. In her forties she established her own business, Custom Draperies by Trish.
Patricia was a wonderful cook, and loved gardening, roses and orchids. She learned sewing at an early age and made her own silk wedding dress. She also knitted, and crocheted quilts, blankets, afghans, and was an avid seamstress, sewing clothing extensively for her family. She enjoyed working with ceramics, candles, resin, and other materials. She enjoyed traveling to Hawaii, Japan, several countries in Europe, Spain, Israel, and throughout the United States.
