She lived a fairy-tale life; at age 19 she married a King, moved to Little Rock, and lived happily ever after.  She traveled the world with Russ and friends, including a balloon ride above the Serengeti and a mailboat cruise on the Danube.  Pat assisted Russ with many volunteer activities in the community, especially The Stewpot, serving food and helping to wash the dishes for 22 years.

Pat was born near Marshalltown, Iowa, to the Dunn family (father Anthony, mother Catherine), the eldest of five children.  While she grew up helping with work on the family farm, she spent her high school years in Glendale, California, and returned to the University of Iowa for a B.S. in Education (English).  In Little Rock, she loved being an elementary teacher for 19 years (Jefferson and Romine Schools).

An avid bridge player, she enjoyed her weekly games with many friends.  She was an excellent cook and loved to entertain.
In particular, she loved talking about her grandchildren, and their adventures and accomplishments.

Pat was a Eucharistic minister to homebound parishioners, and a faithful communicant at Holy Souls Church.
