Pat spent her early childhood in Baton Rogue before moving to Texas in her later childhood. Pat moved back to Louisiana as a teenager. Pat met the love of her life, Paul Seal Sr. Pat and Paul Sr. were married Feb. 11, 1962, and made their home in Angie.

Paul Sr. and Pat had a dairy when they were first married and later they had a farm. Pat helped with all aspects of the farm, including milking, cleaning stalls, feeding, and tending to the needs of the animals. Pat also grew an amazing garden every year and she would preserve much of the fruit and vegetables that came from her garden.

Pat was a hardworking woman who loved her family and took pride in her work. Pat held many positions during her life, working two jobs most times.

Pat was a proud grandmother to three grandchildren — Clint Seal, Drew Seal and April Seal.
