Patricia Stewart

Patricia (Pat) Rhodes Stewart was born in Vallejo, California as Virginia Etheridge Rhodes, daughter of Butler Young Rhodes, an Annapolis graduate, and Virginia Ryan Rhodes. She was called Ginny until age thirteen when her name was changed to Patricia to avoid duplicating her mother’s nickname. A Navy child, Pat moved often, attending 12 primary and secondary schools, from Boston to Vallejo to Panama and many points between. Later, in her life as a pacifist, she remembered enjoying shipboard tea socials under 14” guns.
