Pat Parteleno: Formulating a treasure trove of labels into artwork

By Darlene Bowers

As a child Pat Parteleno wanted to be a cowboy and could often be found in western boots even in mid-summer. After high school Pat began studying business with a sports-related job in mind, but an extern student at her father’s pharmacy convinced Pat to follow in her father’s footsteps and come to ONU to study pharmacy. 

It may have been inevitable.  Pat’s parents, Joseph and Eleanor, met in that pharmacy, married, brought up seven children in their Catholic home under rules of self-reliance, independence, strong values and the importance of hard work.
