She attended Salem Lutheran Church and was a proud member of the Alano Club for 42 years where she was very involved with setting up for meetings, dinners, and various events. Patricia enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling and had an immense love of frogs, including frog decorations and just about anything to do with frogs. Many fond memories include dinners on the Mississippi river boat and hosting family cookouts, fish fries, and bonfires.
