She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Lee and Mae Ellen Craig.

Pat deeply loved her six grandchildren, Blake and Samantha of Atkins, Iowa, and Evelyn, Ottaviano, Marcetta and Oliver of Omaha, Neb. She loved and was loved by two sisters; Kristina Morris of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and Rebecca and husband Garold Jandik of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and one brother, Ivan and wife Peggy Craig of Red Oak, Iowa.
