Patti was one of the kindest, friendliest, and positive members of our class of 1962. She always had a smile and kind greeting for everyone.
I will always remember her with fondness. A great loss for everyone. It was a privilege knowing her. I was so lucky to talk with her at our 50th reunion, It was so great that her daughter helped her attend so we could all visit with a person very important to all us.
My most sincere condolences to her family.
