Pat was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She loved the home that Kite built for her and lived there for 60 years. Pat loved to travel, visiting Kentucky, Florida, California, Las Vegas and Arizona to spend time with her family there. In her later years, Pat enjoyed doing her family history, with the excitement of finding ancestors from Northern Ireland, spending time with her family in Arizona, and watching hours of her favorite program, The Lawrence Welk show.
