Pat was born in Queens, New York on September 15, 1934. She graduated from St. Paul’s Cathedral High School for Girls in Pittsburgh, PA. In 1954, while managing her father’s insurance office in Atlanta, GA, she met and wed Robert Stancil. They were married for 25 years. Together, they moved to Texas where they raised their six children. Pat gave swimming lessons and began working part-time at Sears to help provide a wonderful Christmas each year for the children. She then moved on to various jobs in the bowling world, from League Coordinator at Golden Triangle and Manager of Irving Lanes to National Tournament Director of the Professional Women’s Bowling Association. During her days on the road with the Pro Bowlers Tour, she used the CB handle “Copper Topper”, a reference to her preferred hair color. She was traveling with the PWBA when she met her soul-mate and best friend, Keith, who she married in 1981. Keith and Pat were successful entrepreneurs, running businesses that included NeoLife, Cambridge and Dynasty Systems. Pat coached her daughters in softball and swimming, served as their Brownie and Girl Scout Troop Leader, and was always involved with her church. She loved to play cards with friends and found great joy in her Sunday School class and church family at First Baptist Church-Pflugerville. As a young woman, Pat served her community through the American Red Cross and more recently with the Disaster Relief organization through FBC. Pat was known for her competitive, confident and loving spirit. She loved to travel and enjoyed camping, swimming, country dancing with Keith, and being at the lake. Above all, she was known for her great love of her family and her God.
