Pat was born on September 12, 1930 in Gaston County to the late Mamie Patrick Reid and Dr. James W. Reid. She is preceded in death by husband, Aubrey R.

Pat’s activities included the Town and Country Garden Club, Parnassus Book Club, Nasty Nine baseball club (huge Braves fan), Concord Junior Charity League of N.C., and the Colonial Dames. She was an avid gardener of flowers and vegetables, a passionate reader, played bridge and competed in duplicate tournaments, and enjoyed tennis into her seventies.
