Patty and I considered ourselves as sisters. I wii greatly miss her. She will always be my sister friend and be greatly missed from my family.
So sorry for your loss. Patty was a wonderful woman! The most friendly person I have ever met! Very welcoming. She will be missed by many! Gone too soon!
What fond memories we have of Patty. I can remember the first Labor Day Camp she attended. She was hooked and the next year her and Bob went back with their own camper. How she loved to prepare for the weekend. The food, menus and the lists she had. Precious memories we will cherish now. Patty, loved doing for others!! She could tell Bob to calm down when he wanted to fuss, she knew how to handle him. She loved him and Ryan. Patty, thank you for your generous spirit and your love for helping others. I know you loved the Lord. Prayers for Bob and Ryan and her extended family. Butch & Carolyn Mallard
Patty and I went from first grade through twelfth together and she was such a quiet, humble and kind person who never found a person she didn’t care about. She truly did God’s work here on earth and she is surely continuing to do His work in heaven. Rest easy dear friend. You will be missed.
Patty was my Sunday school teacher she always had a smile on her face she was the sweetest lady she will be missed by many
