Born & raised in Minneapolis Minnesota with sister Gloria, Patty graduated from a business high school
& went to work as a bookkeeper for Land O Lakes Creamery. In 1954 after her father passed, Patty
moved to Seattle with her mother to join her sister and family. Patty went to work for Pierce White
Heating Oil Company as a full charge bookkeeper where she met and later married the love of her life

Pat & Charlie raised their children in the North Seattle area while spending summers in their beach
home on Camano Island and vacationing in Seku Salmon fishing.
