She was preceded in death by parents, Rush and Rosemary McDonald. Patty was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas and graduated from Wyandotte High School, class of 1971. Her favorite pastimes were spending time with family, her many friends, and using her amazing creativity. Patty was known for her sense of humor, her love of fun, teasing, and her infectious laughter. Her favorite vocation was as full time Mama to her beloved children when they were small. Patty worked in the library of White Church Elementary School for 16 years, where she was beloved by students, staff, and parents. She was affectionately known by the students as Pretty Patty. Her warmth, patience, and winsome ways will be missed by the entire school.

In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to contribute to the Adopt a Penguin for Pretty Patty Fund at the Swope Park Zoo, a check can be sent to the Zoo with the Fund’s name in the memo line. You see, Penguins made Patty laugh and she would want everyone to keep laughing.
