During her retirement, Pat spent many hours volunteering. She served as a hospice volunteer for five years and a Mayo Clinic volunteer for fifteen years. She especially enjoyed sharing the history of Mayo Clinic with visitors. Pat volunteered for eight years as an AARP client-facilitator during tax season. She also served as a lector and communion minister both at her Catholic Church as well as the local nursing home communities. Pat loved to travel and had the pleasure of visiting several countries in Europe and South America. She was especially looking forward to a six-month upcoming cruise around the world. Pat was passionate about her vegetable and flower gardens, often generously sharing produce and perennials with friends and those in need. She was also well-known for her delicious Christmas cookies, breads, and homemade pies of any type.
