Patricia obtained her nursing home license and served as a social worker and administrator at Gettysburg Lutheran Home for 12 years. She later became the administrator of the United Methodist Home (now Normandie Ridge) for one year before retiring.

In 2013, she received the Hall of Honor for Social Work during the 250th anniversary of McSherrystown. After retirement, she dedicated her time to volunteering at Hanover Hospital, Adams County Office of Aging, Meals on Wheels, PAL, and Road Scholar. Recently, she enjoyed quilting with her fellow quilters at St. Mark Lutheran Church in Hanover, was an avid card player, and had a passion for books, puzzles, and her family.
