Pat and Bob shared a deep love of golf, enjoying countless outings and adventures together. Whether it was on the fairways of local courses where they lived or during their travels, the two created lasting memories filled with laughter and companionship. Their shared passion for the game was a reflection of the joy they found in spending time together and embracing life's simple pleasures. Pat cherished her time in the Stillwater community and was a proud supporter of Oklahoma State University. Whether cheering on the Cowboys or working at the OSU Graduate College, where she spent many years of her career, Pat's love for OSU ran deep. She was a warm and welcoming presence to all who knew her, always ready to share a story, a smile, or a hug. Pat was also passionate about staying active and loved being outdoors. She found joy in "digging in the dirt," whether it was tending to her flowers or simply enjoying the beauty of nature. Her vibrant spirit and love for life shone through in every aspect of her active lifestyle. One of Pat's most treasured traits was her gift for giving the most memorable hugs. Her hugs were more than just an embrace-they were filled with her deep warmth, comfort, and love, leaving everyone who received one feeling cherished and valued. Pat's greatest joy was her family. She was the heart of their world, always keeping them close, teaching her daughters how to love unconditionally, laugh through life's challenges, and remain resilient in the face of adversity. Her wisdom, kindness, and unwavering love made her the greatest mom in the world. She taught her girls to be strong, independent, and to look out for themselves, all while fostering a deep sense of compassion and connection. Pat's love of celebrating and dancing was a reflection of her vibrant spirit. Whether it was a quick step in the kitchen or the jitterbug at a party, her joy for life was infectious. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who inspired everyone around her with her warmth, grace, and enduring strength. She will forever be remembered for her unwavering love, her radiant smile, her unforgettable hugs, and the way she brought light and laughter to every room. She leaves behind a legacy of love, happiness, and joy that will live on through her family.
