She was born in Detroit, MI on February 2, 1929, to Walter and Mathilda “Tillie” (Grabianowski) Piontkowski. In the course of 95 years, Pat worked the counter of a bakery where her father was the head pastry chef and where she met her husband at the age of 13. She was also a notary, and a receptionist/bookkeeper for her husband's civil engineering firm for many years. She loved socializing and was a friend to all. Pat was a devout Roman Catholic. She was an active member of her parishes in Ypsilanti, MI, both St. John the Baptist and St. Ursula; Our Lady of Fatima in Michigan Center, MI; and St. Patrick Catholic Church in Bryan, OH. She liked going to festivals: such as the Buzzard festival, the Spam festival, Tomato and Popcorn festivals and was a diehard Detroit Tigers fan. She was able to meet Puxatawney Phil for Groundhog Day, on her birthday. Pat was an avid bowler. She participated in numerous national amateur tournaments, often placing in the top ranks with her team members.
