Pat was born on April 4, 1938 in Washington, Pa., the daughter of Charles and Sarah (Enlow) Scott. She graduated from East Washington High School, and had a 25-year career as a flight attendant with Northwest Airlines, now Delta Airlines. On June 4, 1983 Pat was united in marriage with Richard L. Baldwin at the Methodist Church in Bethel, Conn. Following Mr. Baldwin's retirement, the couple spent a number of years traveling extensively throughout the United States in their motorhome and made lots of friends in several states in which they resided. Patricia was a faithful member of the United Methodist Church. She was also a lifelong lover of animals and, in addition to having numerous dogs and cats of her own, was active in various local organizations that rescued, sheltered and adopted out dogs and cats. Pat was an avid supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers and enthusiastic follower of the NFL. She and her husband watched the Steelers play every game they could and, at last count, had watched them play via satellite in at least six states. Pat is survived by her husband Richard of Iowa Falls; two step-sons, Richard L. Baldwin Jr. of Honolulu, Hawaii and James E. Baldwin of Tamuning, Guam; and two step-grandsons, Curtiss and Conor Baldwin of Honolulu. She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers, Chuck, Tom, and Bob Scott.
