She frequented the Senior Citizens Center in Littlefield where she leaves behind many friends and memories there as well. Pat worked at Littlefield Hospitality House for many years and had lasting friends and memories from there. Pat was a gifted artist and shared many of her paintings with friends and family over the years. Pat was a member of the Ladies Auxillaryof the local VFW Post 4854 for many years. She was always eager to help with a church meal or to visit friends in need. She was involved in her children and grandchildren's lives and activities as they were growing up and was a second mom and friend to their friends. Those who knew her will all have unique memories and stories to tell. She was a blessing to many. Pat was a breast cancer survivor and gave many others hope through her testimony of that.
Thank you to those who cared for her during the later part of her life, her healthcare providers, Littlefield EMS and her special friends who were always there for her. She is now rejoicing with Jesus and in her eternal home in Heaven.
