Pat attended Logansport High School. She was known by many names, her family called her Patty, aunt Pat and grandma, her bowling friends called her “mama Pat” and her Legion Rider friends called her “buck 98” ($1.98), although she went by many names, the consensus by all is that she will be greatly missed.
Pat was an avid motorcycle enthusiast. She rode with her husband Darl who also shared the same enthusiasm. After Darl’s passing she continued to ride behind her children, Cheryl and Ron. She was a proud member of the American Legion Riders and the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary.
Pat was also known for her cooking, she owned and operated “Bakers Family Restaurant” now known as “Bullshippers”. The restaurant allowed her to do what she loved while passing along her recipes along to her children.
Pat loved to bowl, she participated in traveling and local leagues around the area. Again, she always made sure to pass her passions onto her children, as they too enjoy bowling to this day.
