As a young girl, Pat traveled Europe and Japan while her parents: Major Charles & Lucille Driskill of Oklahoma, had international U.S.A. duty assignments.
Pat attended Midwest City HS and Oklahoma State University, then studied fashion at the College of Arts and Design in Denton, Texas. Pat loved her family, dogs & cats, dancing, travel, and her Ya Ya Sisterhood. Oh, the parties they had. Pat will truly be missed.
Patsy had a fulfilling 35-year career in federal civil service for the Defense Contract Audit Agency. She worked in Oklahoma City until 1992, then in Dallas until her retirement from the Agency in 2008. A memorial service will be held at a date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, it would please Pat if you would give a gift to your local animal shelter or pet rescue organization.
