She first moved to Sierra Madre in the late 60's and in 1971 moved into a home on Mountain Trail where she lived for 45 years. She worked in banking for many years before retiring early in the late eighties. She was very passionate when it came to the environment and wildlife. She was also very passionate about issues in Sierra Madre. Examples would be: fighting for the Senior Center getting a make over ("The Cinderella Project"), fighting against the development at 1 Carter, Getting property fences that were "wildlife friendly" and many others. She was a constant at city consul meetings. Pat also wrote for the local paper where she had two columns – "Senor Moments" and "Birdseye View". Pat loved Sierra Madre and being part of the community. She was a member of Kiwanas of Sierra Madre and a member of the Senior Club. Many may not have seen eye to eye with Pat, but friend or foe she had the respect of this community for being herself!
