Patricia grew up in Severy, graduating from Severy High School, Class of 1950.  She married Mike Burke in 1951.  To this union were born two sons, Kelly Michael and Timothy Shane.  Early in her married life, Patricia worked on the family farm and devoted her time to raising her two sons.  In the early 1970s, she began working as a secretary at Severy High School.

On October 11, 1977, she married John D. "Bud" Hill, making their home in Kingwood, Texas.  It was in Kingwood that she began working in the retail banking industry, later retiring as a branch manager.  In 2010, she and Bud moved to Davis, Oklahoma to be closer to family.

Patricia was a truly kind, gentle lady.  She was a devoted member of the Central Church of Believers where she was continually active through the church.  She was never one to sit idle.  She was always busy working on various types of puzzles and playing cards with her cousin, Shirley Marshall.
