She was born in Martinez, CA, on February 8, 1929, to Andrew Easton Jr and Audrey Netta Wareing Hillam. While attending BYU, she met Eldon Hardy Puckett. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple on September 8, 1948. They were blessed with seven children. Pat was the motivating force behind many of her family’s adventures and accomplishments. She moved her family over 26 times, much of it overseas. She created a comfortable and beautiful home wherever she was planted including the South Pacific, California, and Utah Valley. Pat was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and dedicated her life to serving others. She served missions with her husband in Washington D.C., at the Provo Temple, and accompanied her husband when he served as MTC president in Western Samoa. Her grandchildren will remember how each visit to her home would include a special treat from Grandma. She will be remembered for her raisin filled cookies, jello jigglers, and the endless gum and fruit snacks found in her amazing purse.
