Born on April 24, 1897 in Boston, Massachusetts, Patience Thatcher was the adopted daughter of George Washington Thatcher and Emily Jean Crismon Thatcher. She attended the Utah Agricultural College, studied voice and violin in New York City, taught music in Logan, served as the president of the George Thatcher Corporation, and was affiliated with the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and the American Humane Society. A great benefactor of the arts, Patience passed away on February 8, 1980 in Logan, Utah.
