She has been a cherished mother and grandmother to all. Pat was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many ways, most enjoyably as pianist and organist in many callings. Pat and Merlin served a mission for the church in the British Columbia Vancouver Mission, 1992-1993. She retired from Hill Air Force Base in 1985 after 24 years working as an accountant. Needlework of many types, particularly knitting, provided many hours of enjoyment and many cherished gifts for friends and family members. She loved to read and her side table was always full of books and magazines; her day was not complete without a thorough reading of the morning newspaper. Pat was preceded in death by her first husband John and oldest son Jeff. She is survived by six daughters and two sons and their spouses, 24 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and former daughter-in-law, Danielle (Tom) Christopulos.
