Patricia retired from Bed, Bath and Beyond in 2011 where she enjoyed many praises from executives on her management of the bed and bath departments, most notedly the perfection in the monster towel wall. Along with Bed, Bath and Beyond, Patricia spent her evenings and weekends selling souvenirs at Anaheim Stadium and Anaheim Pond where she supported the CA Angels, LA Rams, Anaheim Ducks and hundreds of concerts. She absolutely LOVED working the concerts! One of her favorite memories was when Tim McGraw stopped by to ask her where the bathroom was, and she got a hug from him!
Hobbies of Patricia's included Antique shopping, traveling to Las Vegas, baking chocolate chip cookies for everyone, and lounging with her favorite feline Gracie.
