'''Patricia Anne Johnson''' was born on December 19, 1927, in New London, Connecticut, just two years before the Great Depression began.  Her father, Harris Hennesey, was an ambitious young man who started his career as a store manager with the S.

The family lost all of their meager savings during the stock market crash in 1929, two years before Patricia’s sister, Jo Anne was born.

The depression years were difficult for this small family. Patricia’s family lived to Troy, New York, when she was almost three years old. She spent the major part of her early childhood in Troy, participating in activities at the Methodist Church where both of her parents taught Sunday school. At age twelve she was very sad to leave her friends when her father was transferred back to New London, Connecticut.

One important constant in her life was the family’s annual trip to Flint, Michigan to spend their two week vacation with her grand-parents and cousins. To Patricia and her sister, their grandfather seemed to be the personification of God the Father. He fit the image of the God they had been taught about in Sunday school. In Flint, Patricia rode her horse, Lee Todd, every summer and she often mentioned that those times in Flint were some of the happiest in her life.
