Pat entered this life on March 18, 1946 in Detroit, MI, daughter to the late Carl and Ida Greenwell. Pat had a love for quilting, cross word puzzles, and spending time with her cat. However, her true passion in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandbabies; she will be greatly missed.
