Pat was born in Kansas City, Missouri to Harry and Helena Ryan on

December 25, 1927, though she spent most of her life in St. Louis,Missouri.

Just after high School she fell in love with a WWII aviator, Albert Goss,

from Sioux City Iowa, a decorated P51 pilot.

They had a short courtship and married on November 30, 1946.

Seeking employment,they moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Pat found work at Famous Barr as a security investigator and Albert found a job in sales at

Mulligan Printing Company.

With marriage comes children and they were blessed with four,

Nick, Dana, Paul and Helen.

After forty six years of marriage, Albert passed away in 1990 and Pat went on to retired from Famous Barr in 1992. She spent her retirement years living with her son Nick and her two furry friends,George, a golden retriever and

Maxie, a Rottweiler.

Her favorite pastimes were reading, watching Cardinal baseball, listening to all types of music and collecting albums. On Friday nights she enjoyed happy hour with margaritas, pizza and listening to her favorite Jimmy Buffett albums.

The last ten years of Pat’s life were spent in a nursing home where she struggled with Alzheimers and finally cancer.
