Her life revolved around being a homemaker and mother to her girls, Kathleen, Diane, Nancy, and Colleen. Pat and Mike made their home for years in Moorhead, then Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They moved to Phoenix with their girls in 1968. Patty was a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend. She and Mike loved music and "danced their legs off" (as she used to say) from the time they met to later years at Dixieland Jazz Festivals all over the United States and Canada. The musicians all knew them by name and loved to watch them dance. Patty was a beautiful entertainer and because of her husband's business in sales she entertained people from all over the country.
