Pat held a loving and special place in her heart for her family especially her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a 1959 graduate of Lamar High and a resident of Lamar for many years before moving to Colorado Springs.
In Colorado Springs she started her new life working and making a new home. Pat met her loving companion Mark Lopez during this time and they built a life together. She ended her career at Sunny Vista Living Center for the elderly. Pat retired from Sunny Vista and enjoyed being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Pat was creative by learning to knit, sew and create ceramic creations. She was a funny, silly and caring person ready to help others in need. Friends commented that Pat would drop what she was doing to help family and friends in need. She was committed to her faith by attending a daily adoration in her church, she was a eucharistic minister, and helped serve dinners for the homeless at church. Her faith in God helped to ease her pain through this difficult time. Services for Pat will take place at a later date.
