Patricia was a wonderful mother. She not only provided the basic necessities, but also entertained her kids by playing games or doing crafts with them. The games continued with her grandsons when they would come down on weekends to play with her. That was a very special time that she really appreciated.

Patricia worked in the Louisburg High School kitchen for over 10 years. It warmed her heart whenever the kids made positive comments to her.

Louisburg Senior Citizens was wonderful for her in the later years. She enjoyed getting to be with people and especially enjoyed participating in the Wii bowling games and tournaments.
