Pat was born on September 21st, 1935 to the late Lt. Col. Hugh F. and Lucy K. McCaffery in Newport News, Virginia. In 1945 she christened the U.S.S.

She was president of her class at both institutions. Pat grew up playing tennis in the Westhampton Country Club, was the captain of her high school basketball team, and was known amongst her friends for her love of dancing.
