From there she went to Rhode Island to attend and graduated from Bryant College. It was during her first semester in college where she met the love of her life Bill Carrington. Pat and Bill enjoyed 40 years together and raised 2 sons, William Carrington IV and Brian Carrington all of Brevard. Pat and her family moved to Brevard in 2001.
