As a devoted office manager for Dr. Raines in Port Arthur in the 70's, she made all the patients feel comfortable and welcome in his office and later, she became the office manager for Tupperware in Beaumont. Pat brought her dedication and organizational skills to her professional life, reflecting the same commitment she exhibited at home.

As a teenager in the 50's, she was an avid Elvis Presley and Patsy Cline fan.

Pat was a longtime member of St. George Episcopal Church in Port Arthur and later became a member at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Port Neches. Through the years, she was an active member and past president of the Episcopal Church Women's group where her spirit and joy was infectious, bringing smiles to those around her.

Pat's family holds her memory close with great pride. She is survived by her beloved daughter, Georgette Pillitere and her husband, Greg of Nederland; her son, John Roy LeBlanc of Port Arthur; and her daughter-in-law, Janet LeBlanc of Anna, Texas.
