Pat was born on April 2nd 1961 in Denver, Colorado to Harold Ernest Schmachtenberger and Edna Mae Ward. She married the love of her life Bradley Jay Kiel on August 18th 1979 in Salt Lake City and spent the next 44 years together.

She lived her life to the fullest and championed many causes by volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the children’s Burn Camp, and as Docent at Hogle Zoo. She cherished her time as President of the Sandy City Firefighters Ladies Auxiliary and was proud to have been called to serve by the ASPCA as a Rescue Volunteer during numerous natural disasters and animal welfare cases nationwide. Pat loved to help organize her high school reunions for Cottonwood High Class of 1979. She enjoyed a rewarding 25 year career as a Realtor and will be greatly missed by her EXIT Realty family.
