Pat was an accomplished musician singing Capella harmonies with the Sweet Adelines for many years. Complimenting her singing skills, she also enjoyed playing trumpet, guitar, and the piano. One of Pat's greatest joys was the game of golf. As a long-term member of the Batavia Country Club, she won multiple Ladies Championships and along with Bob's golf skills, many couples events. At her prime, she could give many of the men a run. She loved not only her golf but spending beautiful summer days outside with friends along with the challenges of the sport.
After 25 years of service as a school bus driver for Byron-Bergen, culminating as the district Director of Transportation, she retired and relocated to Florida with Robert to enjoy many more sunny days on the greens.
