Following graduation from the River Falls High School in 1971, she was employed at St. Bridget School and Church, also in River Falls. Due to the progression of her cancer, she took an early retirement in March 2011, after serving her church community for 39 years.

Pat found great enjoyment in knitting, crocheting and sewing. She was involved in the Town & Country 4-H Club and then went on to continue exhibiting at the Pierce County Fair in the open class division each year. She was also a member of the Glass Valley Homemaker’s club.

Pat was most proud of her nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. She always enjoyed their visits.

She is further survived by 29 nieces and nephews, 56 great-nieces and -nephews, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Hartland; brother-in-law Virgil Cernohous; niece Lisa Neuman; great-nephews Nicholas Feyereisen and Thomas Rodewald; and many aunts and uncles.
