Patty was one of the most careing and beautiful person I loved her as a Cousin and a Friend. We always laughed when we were together or talking on the phone. She always asked about everyone in my family. I had the most wonderful visit with her about a month ago, I will never forget her and she will always be in my heart.

I've known Patty for a long time and met her through her good friend Annette many years ago. I met them both out on the weekends and boy did we have a good time when we met up. The last time I seen Patty was on New Years Eve and Im so happy I was able to have one last conversation with her. She was always smiling and acting like nothing was wrong. I know she is with her good friend Annette now in Heaven and she is no longer suffering. Fly with the Angels Patty. Prayers to the entire family. Miss you and Annette. Loved you both.

I am so sorry to learn of Patty's passing. It was an honor to have worked with her for so many years...I remember thinking how incredibly brave she was sitting at her desk while hooked up to chemo. When I said Patty if you don't feel well you can go home. She said oh no i might get sick someday and need my sick-leave. Patty was always a realist. I only have fond memories of her and my heart goes out to Bruce, Marla and all her family. I know they will miss her.as we miss Annette.

I've known Patty for more than half of my life, I got to know her through my aunt Annette, and then worked with her for many years. Outside of work we spent many nights out on the town, lots and lots of laughs were shared.
She always brought a smile to my face, and to those around her, I'm deeply saddened by her passing, she was one of a kind.
Patty was a great friend to me, and she changed my life eight years ago by introducing me to my now husband.
I will forever love you Patty, you were one special "Witchy Woman". I hope you and Annette are having some fun together now somewhere over the rainbow.
Love, hugs, peace, and prayers to her family.
