Born in 1926 in Wichita, KS to Axel and Hazel Nelson, Pat, a dedicated housewife, loved caring for her family.
She enjoyed oil painting, cooking, watching old movies and socializing with friends and family. She had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. Pat had a knack for gardening, she was quite the "green thumb".

Pat was quite the Patriot raising two children who served in the military and also had two grandchildren who served. All four married military members.
She is survived by her daughters Carlene Smith and Sandy Thomas both residing in Florida, her son Pete Boggs of Topeka, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, and Great-Great Grandchildren that brought great joy to her later years.
