She met and married her husband William R McKinley on April 17, 1955 in Raton, New Mexico.
She was a true farmer’s rancher’s wife, working side by side with her husband in the Mosca area.
They raised and cared for livestock including hogs, sheep and goats. She worked in the fields driving
tractors, running the windrower, and baling hay.
She cared for her family from canning peaches & pears to sewing their clothes including western
shirts and patching many pairs of overalls and jeans. She also enjoyed quilting. She always had a garden and beautiful flower gardens. Pat was an excellent cook and was known for her homemade bread, pies, and cakes. Everyone was welcome at her table. After selling the farm, she was an avid reader, sharing books with her good friend Leona Edwards.
