Patricia was born in Lewes, daughter of the late Ernest E. Jr. and Arnelda (Ellis) Megee. She was raised in Georgetown and graduated from Georgetown High School Class of 1962. She continued her education at Bridgewater College and graduated with the class of 1966 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology. Her degree carried her into a career as a school teacher in North Carolina and later as a substitute teacher with the Indian River School District. Along with her career in education, Pat worked alongside her family for many years at Megee Plumbing and Heating.

Pat loved needlework, especially knitting and cross-stitch, reading, listening to music and quiet time along the shore listening to the waves and collecting shells. Pat also enjoyed spending quiet time at church. Over the years she had attended Grace UM Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Wesley UM Church, where she sang in the choir.
In addition to her parents, Patricia is preceded in death by her brother, Ernest E. Megee III.
