On April 23, 1960, Pat was united in marriage to Henry "Bud" L. Turner in Hastings, Nebraska. She worked at a beauty salon for several years before the couple began having children. Pat then opened her own shop in her home.

In 1966, the couple moved to Lincoln when Bud was transferred with Burlington Northern Railroad. They moved back to Hastings in 1970 where they began remodeling houses. Never one to sit still Pat worked on the plaster board and painting of the interior. This was the beginning of Turner Construction which they owned and operated from 1970-1976.

After their retirement they enjoyed being camp host in several Nebraska parks, the last was at Branched Oak for two seasons. Pat was very active at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, where she helped with many funeral lunches. She also worked at Lou and Mary Anne's Bar for several years. Pat loved her family, working outdoors in her vegetable and flower garden, crocheting and other crafts. Pat genuinely loved people and helping them. Her pleasant demeanor and smile will be missed.
