Patricia is the daughter of Kathleen and Patrick Ashley Cooper and was presented in 1938. A newspaper photograph of her in her presentation gown is in the file of Kathleen Ashley Cooper. She brings a group of children out of England to safety in Canada and Australia. On her return she stays with Lady Adams in Hollywood for two months and afterwards returns to Canada where she works in an airplane factory. She eventually gets a flight back to England where she enrolls at Oxford to study to be a doctor.
