She works very closely and diligently with her husband, directing the choir and music ministry at Blessed Trinity and is a very powerful songstress in her own right.
Sister Pat has held the position of administrator and surgical coordinator for Scripps-Mercy hospital in San Diego for 40 years. She is well liked by all, co-workers and church members alike.
Pat is a native Memphian and grew up with three brothers and two sisters. She is the daughter of famed choir director Johnny Ray Buntyn. She most assuredly knows the Lord and serves Him with everything she has. She is both extremely proud and very happy to stand with her husband in whatever the Lord will have them to do.
