Patricia Schoppmann and her father were born in Mesquite, Nevada and her mother was born in Littlefield, Arizona.  They moved to Las Vegas and that is where Pat grew up.  Las Vegas is where she met her husband and spent years traveling throughout the State of Nevada building highways.

For many years, her immediate family visited family members in the Littlefield and Mesquite areas.

Years later, Pat developed a desire to relocate back to the area.  Her only problem was convincing her husband to accept this desire.  She won and now she and her husband have lived in the Littlefield area since 2005.  During this time, Pat has become involved in many community project, one of which is being a member of the Littlefield Unified School District Governing Board.  This has opened doors to the school administration, teachers, employees, and students as well as participation in school programs with all levels of student activities.
