Pat graduated in 1956 from Berne-French High School in Berne, Indiana.   She was very musical and had a beautiful voice. She loved to sing, was in many church choirs and sang solos on many occasions.  She also played piano and flute in her high school band and orchestra.

She was active in the Lafayette community and served as a Girl Scout leader, a member of the board of directors of the Lafayette YWCA, the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra and the Lafayette Symphony Guild. She also served as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of The S.P. Stucky Company, the family business. She was a member of a number of clubs; PEO, Monday Club, the John Purdue Club, Tri Kappa, and the Purdue President’s Council.  She was a member of Central Presbyterian Church.

She loved playing golf and bridge, attending the symphony, and all things Purdue. She loved her flowers, cooking and entertaining, and traveling. Always fashionable, she loved shopping, a beautiful pair of shoes and purse, and anything red-especially lipstick, nail polish, or a glass of wine.  Spending time with family and being at their northern Michigan lake home was like Heaven on earth.
