Pat was born on December 22, 1935 in Hawarden, Iowa to Michael and Nellie (Richardson) Mullarkey. She married Joseph Meicher on August 25, 1957. They were blessed with six children; Michael, Serena, Patti, Sara, Joseph, and Timothy. Much of her life was devoted to raising her children.

Pat’s love for her family was her primary focus in life. Her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and grand dogs brought her much joy. She also enjoyed traveling and spending winters in Florida with long term loving partner Tom Carey. Other hobbies included cooking for others, knitting, reading, puzzle books, shopping, dining out and quiet prayer time with God. Cardinals had a special place in Pat’s heart and held significant spiritual meaning for her. She was a financial supporter of Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital whose ministry was important to her.
