She was born March 21, 1921 in Brinkley, Ark., the youngest of four children of Charles and Willie Patterson. She was predeceased by her parents, siblings, and a granddaughter, Hannah Fleming.

Pat grew up on a farm in Brinkley and graduated from Brinkley High School as Class Valedictorian. She later moved to Little Rock to attend Draughn's Business School. While living in Little Rock she met David and they were married November 20, 1941. For many years she was a wife and homemaker but worked outside the home for several years at Peoples Savings and Loan Association. As long as her health allowed, she was an active member of The Bible Church of Little Rock where she served faithfully leading Good News Clubs and Vacation Bible School.
