Pat was known for her intellect, sense of humor and her heart for the needy. She earned numerous degrees in higher education, including a Master of Divinity degree from Saint John’s University. Professionally, Pat spent over four decades teaching students at Nativity, Totino Grace high school and Brady high school, where she was highly respected and loved by her students. She is already deeply missed by family and friends.

Pat was a devout Catholic who dedicated her life to worshiping Jesus Christ and using her God-given gift of teaching.
