Patricia A. Hornsby
Vice President

TSGT Retired USAF

Patricia A. Hornsby is a remarkable individual with a rich and diverse background. Patricia’s journey began in the United States Air Force, where she served as TSGT. During her time stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico and Bitburg Air Base in Germany, she embraced a unique passion – umpiring softball games for children, men, and women. Her dedication to creating enjoyable experiences for others was evident, even during her military service.

In 1984, Patricia’s path led her to Charlotte, North Carolina, on a special duty assignment. It was during this time that she decided to purchase a home in Charlotte, North Carolina, the place she had grown to love and would someday want to settle down and be part of the community. 

Upon retiring from the Air Force, Patricia’s commitment to personal growth and education continued. She diligently pursued her associate degree, further enhancing her knowledge and skills. In 1996, she made her way back to Charlotte.

Soon after her return, Patricia joined the team at Bank of America, where she brought her dedication and expertise to the corporate world. However, her heart remained close to the idea of making a difference in the lives of children.

In 2007, Patricia’s path aligned with the mission of Superlative Childcare Inc. She had the opportunity to meet the owner and, since then, has been wholeheartedly devoted to teaching and working with children. Her journey has been a testament to her unwavering commitment to both personal and professional growth, as well as her genuine passion for nurturing and educating the next generation. Patricia A. Hornsby is a true inspiration, leaving a positive impact on all she encounters.
