Pat 's family grew over the years with the addition of her children's significant others and spouses: Ellen, Linda and Mike. In addition, Pat loved her grandchildren Janea (Eric), Cassie, Natalie, and great grandchild Ava. Pat worked at Thriftway Foods for over 35 years while raising her family. She was a well-known cashier and then later worked in the office handling the books. Over the years, she met so many friends who were both customers and co-workers. Pat had a deep love for God and showed her love through the many volunteer activities at First Lutheran Church of Crystal, Sharing and Caring Hands, NEAR, and Dinner at your Door. She loved her family deeply and enjoyed time watching their sports and events over her lifetime. She was an avid softball player/fan, bowler, card player and gardener. She loved vacations in warm places, especially cruises, and more recently spending many summers on the 'annual' 4th of July vacation on Lake Vermillion with family and friends.
