Pat graduated from Holy Family High School in Ashland, KY in 1950 and joined the Congregation of Divine Providence in Melbourne, KY after graduation. Pat was a Sister of Divine Providence for 10 years. The first weekend after leaving the convent, Pat was invited to a party celebrating the opening of the 1960 Summer Olympics. At that party Pat met not only a group of people who would become lifelong friends but also the man she would marry, Joseph Gammon. Pat and Joe were married in May 1962, at the Cathedral Basilica in Cov- ington, KY.

They lived in Cincinnati until the birth of their first child, a daughter they named Patrice but would call Kelly. Within a few months of arrival, Pat and Joe moved back to Ashland, KY, where a year later they welcomed their second daughter, Kathleen, to the family. job in Ashland took the family on the road, traveling from Kentucky to Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Ohio, and Indiana over the next several years before returning to Kentucky, this time to Northern Kentucky, where Pat called home for the next 40 years. Pat began teaching as a Sister of Divine Providence and returned to teach- ing once Kathy and Kelly reached school age. Pat taught 8th grade math and science for over 30 years.

Pat and Joe were both very proud of their Irish heritage and traveled to Ireland on several occasions with their group of friends. In 1979, they began hosting an annual St. Day party. For almost 30 years they hosted this party for a growing number of family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Highlights of the party were corned beef and cabbage and the rousing sing-alongs she led from the organ.

Pat was a proud and vocal fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. She was especially fond of recounting the story of how she attended the of the between Notre Dame and Ohio State in 1935, as a 3-year-old carried on her shoulders. Pat cherished her role as the matriarch of the Kelly family and will be fondly remembered by the next two generations of In 2013, Pat moved from Northern Kentucky to Central Indiana to be closer to family.
