As her children began to leave the nest Patricia returned to college and graduated with a BA from Mary Crest College in Davenport, IA in 1977.

DAVENPORT-Mary Ellen (Carlin) Ehlert, who passed away at age 99 in her hometown of Davenport, Iowa, Monday, began life facing robust challenges in in the midst of The Great Depression.
