Patricia was a graduate of Ridgeley High School. She was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother and “mommom”. She was an avid baseball fan. She loved her crafts and crocheting. Nothing gave her more joy than being near her grandchildren and watching the series Outlander. Since moving to Northern California in 2018, she embraced her life here with all the vigor and curiosity she could muster. She enjoyed the beauty of a loving family, friends and later on an amazing Fijian caregiver/companion Otilly Rabuku (who gave her such quality of life).
