She worked mostly in the textile industry as a seamstress. She used these skills to provide handmade clothing and blankets to her family and friends. This brought her much joy. Sewing and knitting these keepsakes for her grandchildren was her favorite way to pass the time. Pat was also a big country music fan. She forged many friendships travelling around the east coast attending Jeff Bates concerts. She wasn't able to attend many shows these past few years, but she cherished those relationships and still remained in contact. Pat lived to put a smile on other's faces, whether it be by gifting them a handmade item, giving someone a concert call, or sending random gifts through the mail just because it caught her eye. She was happiest when those around her were happy. Pat is preceded in death by her parents, Winslow Horace Neal and Helen Yuhas Neal. She is survived by her sister, Beverly N.
