Patricia Towers was born in Batavia, New York in 1937 to parents John and Mavis Elliott. During her youth she also lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania and Quincy, Massachusetts. She married Robert Towers in 1959 and had four sons, living in West Newbury, Massachusetts until 1980. Pat was active in the West Newbury Congregational Church, particularly with the choir where she served as Director, and with the West Newbury Garden Club.

Pat moved to the Melbourne area in 1980 and her two youngest sons graduated from Melbourne High School. She attended classes at Brevard Community College and was employed at SAIC in Melbourne. Upon retirement she sang in the Brevard Community Chorus, volunteered extensively at Holmes Regional Medical Center, and took up hiking as a hobby, participating regularly in hikes with the Florida Trails Hiking Club.
