At Stadium High School she participated in Tigerannas, Thespians, Ski Club, Golf Club, and the Pep Club. She graduated from high school in 1947 and went on to study at the College of Puget Sound (University of Puget Sound). After graduation from high school Pat worked at several jobs including the Tacoma Rhodes store, Leeds shoe store, and a local movie theater. She later was trained and worked as a Paraeducator. However, the job that she loved the most was raising her children and caring for her family. Pat attended Mason Methodist Church.

Pat is survived by her children Lucinda Fulton (Dennis), Lawrence Wright (Kathy), Geraldine Guske (Tom), Dave Norlund (Chris), Janet Howald (Alf); 12 grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren; her sister Geraldine Crowley, and daughter-in-law, Marcia Wright. She was preceded in death by James S. Wright, her first husband, Alf E. Norlund, her second husband; her son Bruce T. Wright; and her brother George M. Brown. We would like to thank Dr. Sunita Gaba as well as the staff at the Harbor Heritage Rosemount House in Gig Harbor for their consistent and loving care of our Mother. She was happy and at peace in your care. Our family is so thankful for the many years of love, care and laughter she gave us. Mom, you will be greatly missed but we know that you are with the Lord and smiling down on us with those twinkling blue eyes.
