Patricia had that job for 25 years before retiring.

She was a believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was baptized when she was younger at the Christian Church in Nye Beach. Patricia attended the Baptist Church of Waldport until she was unable to get to the service.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Estelle and Frank Porter, brother Paul Roger, Grandson, Courtney John Hayes, and Great Granddaughter, Destiny Grace Fields.
