Bridges
Pat worked for many years at Walter Drake as a print buyer, which is where she met the love of her life. She married John Arthur Bridges in 1995 and moved to Oklahoma to start their life together. Pat and John were involved in many bowling leagues and enjoyed playing golf together every chance they got. Many trips back to Colorado ended up on the golf course with friends and family. In 24 years of marriage, they never left each other's side all the while laughing and loving the entire way.
