Patricia developed many interests and talents throughout her life. She had a passion for rocks and minerals, becoming an avid rockhound who transformed her discoveries into beautiful handmade jewelry. She was also a gifted photographer with a keen eye for capturing the beauty found in everyday moments.

Due to declining lung health, Patricia relocated from New York City to Phoenix, Arizona, and eventually returned to Georgia, settling in Avondale Estates. After returning to Georgia, she joined Georgia-Pacific and remained with the company until her retirement. She continued to express her many artistic talents and creative gifts for many years thereafter.

She is survived by her younger sister, Linda, the last living member of their generation, along with many beloved nieces and nephews whose lives she touched in countless ways.
