Everything from working the carnival circuit and traveling state to state with their dog Spoofer, that Pat loved, to working in public service to raising their four children. Pat worked at Pinewood Nursing Home in Waldron for many years and then retired in 1995. She enjoyed watching ?soaps? on television but she especially enjoyed certain movies. Those trips to the theatre with her daughter Leann and dear friend Pat, always proved to be emotional and even comical at times, always wondering if this would be the movie they were thrown out from for laughing so hysterically. Pat was also a huge Elvis fan and enjoyed his music. She was always good with a piece of pecan pie and a Pepsi. But most of all, Pat enjoyed her family and spending time with them. She treasured every visit, every phone call and every hug. Pat leaves behind to cherish her memory, one daughter, LeAnn King of Waldron, Arkansas, three sons: David Sachs and wife Brandi of Mena, Arkansas, Robert Sachs and wife Jennifer of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Joseph Sachs and wife Typhne of Cabot, Arkansas. Nana will forever be missed by six grandchildren: Austin, Katie, Ridge, Brickie, Chase and Katelyn. Pat is also survived by an adopted brother and sister, John and Pat Heinen.
