She enjoys exercising, biking, skiing, playing pickle ball, tennis, watching sports (especially basketball and football), reading, politics, cooking, having fun with her children and grandchildren and traveling. Her least favorite thing to do is to wait in long lines. Patricia was married to the late Dr. Dan E. Jones and has four children and 11 grandchildren.
