"Ms. Pat", as many commonly knew and referred to her, was born July 17, 1951, in Magnolia, Arkansas. Seeking and later realizing a more prosperous livelihood her Mother relocated her and her two siblings to Odessa, Texas in the Permian Basin where she built a successful business. Patricia graduated from Permian Basin High School, home of the Permian Panthers and School Spirit termed 'Mojo', as a Member of the National Honors Society. Upon her first marriage she raised her first child at Airbases across two Continents as her first husband served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War.

She was an avid Racquetball Player and Oklahoma State Champion. She was a collector of art, antiquities, and an array of collectibles encompassed in multiple mediums. Recognized as an Artist, she was often visited at her home by OSU-IT Students, Photographers, fellow Artists and others impressed by her art in and around her home. She enjoyed gardening and yard work. However, her greatest passion was philanthropic support of Single Mother's experiencing challenges she knew well through her personal experiences. She brought smiles and hope to many hearts through simple words, shared wisdom, and resources provided with the loving support of Dr. Morrison. To say she was loved and will be missed by many understates the truth known to many who mourn the loss of her presence.
