Growing up in New York, Pat was a sports fan, long before Arizona Basketball became part of her fanaticism, she would attend games at Ebbets Field to watch her beloved Brooklyn Dodgers.
Like many folks who move to the Sonoran Desert, Pat became an avid Arizona Wildcats fan.
Late during the Lute Olson era, Pat’s daughter Jackie Devery started preparing delicious Italian food for the head coach and the staff. Jackie has also prepared meals for Sean Miller and his staff.
Sometimes Jackie would bring her Mom along when she would head to the basketball offices to deliver the goodies.
