Pat was married to Don Mosbaugh for 54 years. Don will tell you their love story began with love at first sight. Seeing her across the room, he knew she was the one. She was the only girl he ever brought home to his parents, theirs is a true love story. Together, Pat and Don raised two daughters, Alissa and Angela.

She started her career as a speech therapist, later transitioning to teaching fifth grade. Most of her years in teaching were at Eugene Field Elemementary in Webb City. 

After retiring, Pat spent several years working for FEMA following Hurricane Katrina. Pat will be remembered as a funny, quick witted, crossword-loving, Chiefs superfan. She will be extremely missed, but we seek comfort in knowing she is now with the Lord.
