She obtained her nursing license and began her nursing career as a Licensed Practical Nurse in the Coronary Care Unit of the Williamsport Hospital. She furthered her education at The Williamsport Hospital School of Nursing where she graduated as a proud member of the final class, in 1988, with a Registered Nursing Degree. Patricia obtained her Registered Nursing License and proudly continued to work with heart patients in the Intensive Care Unit of the Williamsport Hospital. Her passion was being a quality nurse and providing the best possible medical care for others. She retired in March of 2020 after 44 years of service.

Patricia was continually active in her church and in the community. She is a life-long member of the Pennsdale Trinity United Methodist Church.

Patricia was identified by the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture as a “lady farmer” who took pride in operating Sunnyside Farm. Patricia was an avid historian who took pride in her detailed knowledge of her family, church, and community history. She loved to collect family and local milk bottles and antiques. Patricia was a dedicated fan for all her children’s little league, travel ball, high school, and college sporting events.

Patricia enjoyed singing in church and community choirs. She will be remembered as a friendly, kind, and helpful neighbor in the farming and surrounding community in Pennsdale.
