Pat worked for Northwestern Bell for a time in Marshall. On February 13, 1971, she was united in marriage to Wayne Peltier at Sts Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church in Taunton. The couple lived in Marshall for a time before moving to a farm near Cottonwood where they raised their family. Pat worked for the Wedding Belle Bridal Shop for a time. Later, she worked for the Schwan Food Company in the Marketing Department until 2008 when she went to work for the family business, P & K Fabricating.
