Patricia was also known as Trish, Pat, mother, grandma and best friend. She was a loving sister, wife, mother and grandmother. She was beautiful, funny, sweet, compassionate, honest and genuine. Pat and Al enjoyed dancing together. Her and Al were able to celebrate 60 years of marriage this year. She loved to shop. You would not find her without her hair and nails all done. For over 25 years she had a hair appointment every Friday she would not miss. The grandkids joked of her "Beehive Hair" for many years. When the kids were growing up, she had an open-door policy by all the neighborhood kids and the homeless to come over any time and eat fried chicken. She loved Garth Brooks, Hersey kisses, Laffey taffy, well really all candy. Her favorite holiday was the 4th of July where she had to go to Tulsa Riverfest each year for the carnival food and fireworks show. She also loved the Tulsa State Fair. There are so many cherished memories. She will never be forgotten, and her love will never fade.
