In 1964, Pat and Frank moved to the Pocono Mountains where they raised their four children and lived for 52 years. Guiding her four children was her greatest joy. Pat's charitable work was also extensive. She was President of the Women's Medical Society and Chairwoman of the Pocono Hospital Auxiliary. She co-founded the Pocono Hospital Charity Ball in 1966, as well as the Pocono Mountain Arts and Crafts Festival. After graduating from East Stroudsburg University in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, Pat taught social studies at Pocono Mountain High School. She retired from teaching in 1996.
An accomplished bridge player, tennis player, and late-in-life golfer, Pat enjoyed trivia, games and puzzles. She and Frank were members of Buck Hill Falls, Ocean Reef Club and Card Sound Golf Club. She was a lifelong Phillies, Eagles and Duke basketball fan.
