Our Mom enjoyed cooking and baking, especially during the holidays with grandchildren around. She enjoyed decorating cakes for birthdays and special occasions. Pat was a joyful member of St. Helena’s Catholic Church, serving as a Lector and Eucharistic minister for many years. Mom loved spending time with family and friends, swimming (rehab), playing cards, Elvis Presley, and the Denver Broncos.
