Pat found employment with Dr. Terry Thompson’s Office and then Coffeyville Community College. She enjoyed crappie fishing, ceramics where she spent countless hours making her own Christmas village, and bowling. She absolutely loved bowling and she won many trophies, but it was more than trophies and the game; she loved going to tournaments, spending time with her team and them out to the lake.  Pat loved her family, some of her best times would be her 4th of July get-togethers on the lake watching fireworks.
