Pat was born in Stilwell, Oklahoma on October 24, 1934. She graduated from Stilwell High School and continued on to receive a Bachelor’s of Arts in Home Economics from Oklahoma A & M College.

After starting a family, she chose to stay home where she enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family. Pat was also an active member of the First Christian Church in Stilwell and the local Soroptimist chapter in Stilwell.
