They moved to Texas around 1958 and settled in Richardson, Texas and lived in the same home for 65 years until Charles' passing.

Pat has a vibrant personality and was such a social butterfly. She could always make people laugh even in the worst of times. Pat was very active enjoying bowling, jazzercising, tennis, gardening, and her yard was full of plants and flowers. Pat was lucky enough to stay home, enjoy those hobbies and be with her family and children. We can honestly say that she will be missed with her precious smile and that twinkle in her eyes when one of us came to see her. She was always so happy, but she did miss her husband and our dad. Mom is at rest now with her soulmate, our daddy, and we bet they are dancing in the sky forever.

We will miss you mom and GGPat. Be at peace with Daddy and we will see you on the other side.
