Pat was born on June 4, 1931, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Jack Clinton Davey and Winifred Malone. On February 6, 1953, she married John P. Kearney Sr. of Chicago, who preceded her in death in August 1987.

Pat graduated from Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois.  She was a driven and hardworking woman who owned a fashion boutique in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood and was a seasoned investor.  After raising her three children, Pat's primary focus was her hotel business. She was known for her grace, hospitality and kindness to everyone she met.  That generosity carried over into her home life. Her family and friends were always welcome, well fed, and lovingly cared for.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN.
