Cowdrey and moved to Madison, Wisconsin where their 3 children Chrystal, Troy and Brad were born and more story making occurred.  After living there about 10 years, the family moved to the Chicago, Illinois area where they stayed for over 15 years and where many more great stories developed.  Pat and George thoroughly enjoyed life and loved raising their children.  They embraced both the city life and all that nature offered as well.  They were happiest spending time with their children, friends, and neighbors.  Their marriage ended in later years.

Pat returned to Wisconsin Dells where she lived for about 30 more years.  Pat married Thomas Ryan and they enjoyed their retirement years together with their furry family members.  Pat and Tom loved living in the woods and being connected to nature.  They were happiest spending time with family and friends.
