Patty, known for her whit and personality, is one of a kind. She was kind and loving to everyone that crossed paths with her. She never met a stranger and would become fast friends with everyone. Her smile was contagious, her personality was on fire, always had something quick and hilarious to say, and she was sure to let everyone know how much she loved them. For anyone that met her was a very lucky individual to share life with her. She would brighten everyone's day.

Throughout her life she was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was one of the most creative individuals. She loved her arts and crafts in her earlier years. From making floral arrangements to having her own small business of painting and creating T-shirts. She was very passionate about her creativity of crafts and held on to that passion until the day she passed. She would always say I could do it again and would have loved to continue creating her "masterpieces". She was also a wonderful cook and loved being in the kitchen and making a dinner for an army.
