When Patricia and her husband retired they moved to North Port, Florida, back to Dayton, Ohio and then North Carolina. She enjoyed those times making memories with her grandchildren, family, meeting new friends along the way and her door was always open. She loved to play bingo, cards and games. Her sense of humor was always present. She loved to tell jokes and pull pranks on others, no one ever knew if they would be her next target of fun.

She will be missed and there will be a void for those who love her.
