Pat was a school bus driver for Macon County for 35 years, in fact, she recently drove the grandchildren of some of her first student riders. One of the best joys of the mornings on the bus, was to get to see the sun rise in the mountains. Pat loved to garden and enjoyed flowers very much, as the old wives' tale says, she had a green thumb. Pat read a Proverbs every morning of every day. Her favorite bible verse was Isaiah 40:31 which she recited as her prayer to her own children each morning as they boarded their bus. Fernandina Beach Fl. was the beach she enjoyed the most and made memories with her family. She loved walking on the sand and looking for shark's teeth in the surf. Pat enjoyed the sunrise and sunsets at the beach as well. Pat was passionate about seeing red tailed hawks and cardinals and she would always say "seeing a cardinal was God's way of showing her HE was near."
