Pat and Tom were lovingly devoted to each other throughout their marriage of 61 years. They settled in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, where they raised their family. Through their example, they instilled integrity, independence, and respect in their children. In addition to a close-knit family life, Pat and Tom enjoyed their many shared interests, including their summers in Montana, fly fishing, traveling, and creating gardens.
Pat was always an active community member, holding leadership roles in numerous organizations. A lifelong lover of the arts, Pat took great pleasure in her many years of work with the Civic Music Association, which showcased world-renowned artists.
