Pat held various jobs in California but, once back in Topeka, she was employed as an executive assistant for Myers and Stauffer, a CPA firm. She retired at age 69 after working there for 37 years.

Pat played the accordion from a very young age. She was a member of The Red Hat Society, was an avid reader and loved cats. Her beloved cats, Harley and Jake, lived to the old ages of 18 and 19 years.
