She treasured her nieces and nephews and participated in all of the important events in their lives. Teaching was also a significant part of her life and she enjoyed supporting the teachers and students at Jesup High School.

A loving sister, aunt, niece, cousin, friend and teacher, Pat always put everyone ahead of herself.
