Patty was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, totally devoted to her family. In these last years she spent most of her time watching over them with love and encouragement. Together they spent many hours of fun fishing in the ponds near her home.

She frequently called them after their sporting events, cheering them on and offering congratulations. Patty was truly loved, and her family and friends will miss her very much.
