Pat was born February 3, 1944, in Anson County, NC and was the daughter of the late James Alexander Maner and Ollie Gilmore Maner. Pat enjoyed her work in various textile mills such as Burlington Industries, West Knitting Mill, and finally retiring from Perfect Fit. She loved working hard to help support her family.

She enjoyed attending concerts and supported Paul Schadt and Kat Country Radio. She loved Christmas with family and especially the many years her family participated in the Burlington Street Christmas lights with all her neighbors. She loved to travel to the beach with family and especially enjoyed the golf cart rides and parades.

Times shared with her sister, Hilda were always a highlight for her. They enjoyed many trips to Albemarle to share a meal at Jay’s Seafood. She also looked forward to her Wadesboro Class Reunions which gave her the perfect excuse to buy a new outfit.

Shopping was also a favorite pastime of hers. She was an expert QVC shopper and loved Wal Mart.
