The 1969 Farmington High graduate, excelled in three sports (volleyball, basketball and softball), competing on the legendary 1967-68 teams that went unbeaten in three seasons and won a trio of Southeastern League championships. In basketball she was a roving guard during the old 6 vs. 6 days, helping to get the ball to the scorers. She played second base in softball. “She was little and wicked fast,” recalled teammate Linda “Zeke” Ghareeb. “I was quick and she made me look slow. She could get up and down the floor and handle the ball.” As for softball, Ghareeb said, “when she got on base, second was hers and sometimes third. She always took that extra base.” Patty later earned her associates degree in accounting from New Hampshire Vocational College and then her bachelors degree from Franklin Pierce University. Pat spent 26 years in banking and 15 years with real estate title companies. She married in 1973 and moved to Florida in 2003 to enjoy the sunshine.
