Patsey was born on March 20, 1934 in Broadwater, Nebraska to William Edward Miller and Doris Lucille (Anderson) Miller. She grew up in both Berthoud and Grand Junction, Colorado. She met James William Douglas in Grand Junction Colorado while he was serving in the Air Force. They were married on April 10, 1954 in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Patsey was well known for her eye for detail; for her wonderful baking, including cinnamon rolls, decorating wedding and birthday cakes; sewing; and hard work. She had her own "she-shack" in her garage before it was in style, where she spent many happy hours with her sewing machines and embroidery crafts. Patsey has four daughters, 12 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. After raising her family, she earned a certificate in Home Economics and Nutrition. Over the years Pat has worked as a meat department manager, bakery department manager, seamstress and head cook.
