Patricia’s educational journey began at St Teresa Academy, from which she graduated in 1970.

Outside of her professional life, she enjoyed a rich tapestry of hobbies that brought her joy and fulfillment; she had a passion for golfing, shopping, and camping. Above all, Patricia cherished the time spent with her family and was affectionately known as "cat mom," to her little fur babies, creating a warm and loving home environment.
