Patricia grew up in League City, TX and lived there until she moved to Robertson County, TX where she lived until she married David Lewis in 1994 and moved to Newton County, TX for the remainder of her years. After retiring from AmeriGas Propane, Patricia and David began working with 5 non-profit organizations for plants, wildlife and mushrooms. Those included Gulf States Mycological Society (GSMS), North American Mycological Association (NAMA), Native Plants Society of Texas Pineywoods Chapter (NPSOT), Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society and Friends of the Louisiana State Arboretum. She served as Treasurer for of all those organizations, and she was on the board of directors for The Big Thicket Land Trust.

Her love of travel took her all through the US and she and David traveled extensively through Mexico on tours and mycological expeditions, contributing to the record of mycological flora of both Mexico and the United States. They also hosted nationally and internationally renowned mycologists and botanists at their home in Newton County, Texas.

And of course, Patricia loved her family and enjoyed time spent with them as often as possible, always very giving and supportive, very proud of her children, nephew, and their families.
