Patricia met Jimmy at Trona High School in Trona, California. Jimmy joined the US Navy and away they went off on a lifetime of adventure. Patricia worked in the medical profession at the different duty stations as they traveled the country. They had 3 children and when her mother had died suddenly, they raised her younger brother as their own. When Jimmy retired from the Navy Patricia went back to nursing school at Ventura College where at the age of 50, she graduated at the top of her class and became the Registered Nurse that she had put on hold for so many years earlier. Patrica went to work at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura. In later years when Pat retired, they relocated to Bend, Oregon where she went back to nursing. They were both active in the Bend Elks, and she enjoyed working with the Elks on several Charity functions.
