Pat surrendered her heart to the Lord in the 70's here in North Charleston at Remount Baptist Church. She raised her family as Christians and shared her love for the Lord. Pat knew where she would spend her eternal life as she carried out her commitment to God.

Patricia's love for children extended way beyond her own. She spent many years coaching softball at Tom Conley Ball Park where she impacted so many of her players' lives.  She truly loved each child that she coached and cherished each one of them. Her love and spirit was appreciated by many and was reciprocated by all. She was a role model to many, some at difficult times in their lives, her faith and love never wavered. She truly was an angel here on earth and has now gained her heavenly wings. She knew her purpose on this earth and lived it to the fullest.

Pat was also a member of the American Pool Association.  She loved to shoot pool and even made it to Vegas twice.
