Pat was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on June 9, 1936 to Charlie and Alma Wilson. On October 17, 1953, Pat married Don Gillum, her true love. Together they owned and operated Coldwell Banker Lakeside Realty for eighteen years. Pat was an active member of the community and enjoyed traveling, fishing, the outdoors, and shopping.
