Patsy served as a Registered Nurse at Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka Kansas after graduation from St. Vincent until choosing to stay at home to raise her family.

Patsy was a proud and devoted Air Force wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She dedicated her life to serving others. She had a great love of animals, especially dogs, and specifically dachshunds. She enjoyed walking, hiking, and many other outdoor activities.
