She lit up the halls of KMC with that beautiful smile.  She was always dressed to the max and so very pretty. I'm sorry to hear of her passing.  She will be missed.  Kathy Frith RN

What a truly beautiful showing of love for Patty yesterday.  The room was packed and all hearts were full.  Clint, Andy and Kaitlyn, you can be so very proud of your mom and the person she was.  Just read the entries here on the guest book and that will give you a small iota of how much she was loved.  We all know that she is truly an Angel, watching over us all,

I had the pleasure of doing Patti & Pauline's nails, and I loved them both very much and was deeply saddened to hear of Patti's death.  Patti and I had many laughing moments together as she could easily make anyone laugh.  
What I remember most of our conversations is that she loved her children and family very much, that includes the dogs.  I will & have missed her since I haven't been doing her nails for awhile.  Love you Patti

There are special reasons why people enter and cross our paths. I know God wanted to bring sunshine into our lives.While you are embracing our Lords arms may we embraces the love you passed to us all. Cyndi Corona KMC Nutrition

Tom, Clint, Andy & Katelyn  -  I am so sad to hear about Patty's passing.  I have such fond memories of her at First Assembly and working with her.  She was such a fun lady who loved life.  I could never understand this classy lady loving camping in the woods but it truly was a place of solace for her.  I have missed our close friendship after moving away but our phone conversations were like we hadn't missed a beat. I will truly miss her        Vivian Price - New York City, NY

I worked with Patty for many years, handling the ads she placed in the Bakersfield Californian for Kern Medical Center. She was such a pleasure to work with, always upbeat, friendly, truly a wonderful, sweet person. She will be missed! My prayers go out to her loving family.

The service for Patty was lovely. The photo montage brought so many of us to tears and reminded us of Patty's gentle spirit and her earthly beauty. 
I am so blessed to have been present when Patty's children spoke lovingly of Patty. Her son's request for applause for his beloved mother was incredibly moving.  Those three grown children, Patty, are your legacy. As  your son said, we all hope you are enjoying your new wings.  Well done, faithful servant. We love you Patty.

I too worked with Patty at Kern 
Medical Center back in the 80s. We became friends really fast. Yes, she was a very nice person to have gotten to know and she will be truly missed.

I knew Patty from 1st Assembly Of God church.  She was just a few years ahead of me in youth group.  I enjoyed getting to know her as an adult, when my Mom kept Clint, and then Andy, while Patty went to work.  She was a beautiful, vibrant woman to be around!  I am happy for her that she is now with her Mom in Heaven.

It has been said so many times how wonderful a person Patty was and what a joy she was to work with.  I'm glad that I had a small opportunity of time to work with her at KMC and to get to know her.  My heart goes out to her her family.

MY condulences to clint and andy your mom was a very nice person and will be missed.

People pass and disappear, but they never really go away.  
Their spirit puts the sun to bed, wakes up the grass and spins the earth in dizzy circles.  Their spirit paints the rainbows and also the sunsets and make the waves splash and tug at the tide.  I knew Patty since 1987...she will alway be a part of my life and memories at KMC....she will be very much missed.

I am sad to see Patty in the paper today!  I had the pleasure of serving her lunch weekly at Red Robin.  She was one of my favorites.  Always so nice and a wonderful person.  I pray peace for her family and friends, and i know she is in Gods hands, in heaven looking as beautiful as she always did!

My deepest sympathy to the family. Patty was a bright spot in my days at KMC.  I am sad for the loss of a treasure on earth.

 Patty touched so many hearts I can only hope even once I might have brought her the same joy. Everyone loved Patty and no one will forget her lovely smile and her beautiful spirit. A true gentlewoman has been called Home. Rest in peace, lovely lady.

I worked for Patty at KMC- we shared some wonderful times in Public Relations..she was a wonderful boss. You will always be in my heart.

I worked with Patty many years at KMC. She is everything you wrote in the obituary.... a very pleasant, happy person! I was sad to hear when she left the hospital and wish I could have seen or talked with her before this. I feel very deeply for the family. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you.
Sincerely Lori Girard

Seriously shocked. I met Patty when she was the PIO for KMC. I always considered her a friend, but we became closer after her retirement. Pink Flamingos and Happy Meals. I will remember her smile, warmth, generous spirit and her love for her children and her pets. Tammy

Patty and I were friends during her whole career at KMC and after she retired.  Patty was a kind, loving person always ready with a bright smile and a kind word.  I will truly miss her and I can only hope that she has found peace.  I send my condolences to her family.  I pray they find strength in knowing that Patty was truly loved by everyone she came in contact with.

Patty you were one of the greastest friends I had the pleasure of knowing.You helped my family so many times you were always there for us.I miss you so very much my Friend. I will remember you in my heart till we meet again.Love you Patty !

Patty was a special lady with a sparkle that brightened up KMC when she worked here. I was lucky to know and love her.

I worked with Patty at KMC for many years.  She always had a smile on her face no matter what. May she rest in peace... my prayers are with the family!

I met Patty Henry 20 years ago and we became fast friends.  The obituary is a beautiful summary of who she was.  I am blessed to have had our friendship and truly appreciated her.  The memories of fun and laughter we shared make me smile through my tears as I type this.  Patty, you will remain in my heart.  

Family:  let me know how I can help you through the tough times ahead of you.

Patty was a shining star at KMC, she will be dearly missed. She was always speaking of her family and always had a smile. A dear friend has her Angel wings

I worked with Patty at KMC. She was a sweet sparkly lady. I will miss her.

Patty was an awesome lady!  Such a dedicated  worker and a terrific mother. She was a blessing to so many people.  My family was close to hers during my teenage years, and we watched Clinty and Andy when they were little guys. So many happy memories!

I too worked with Patty for many years at KMC.  She always had a sunny smile and could find laughter in almost any situation.  She will be terribly missed and I pray that she is finally at peace.

Patty will be greatly missed. She and I worked together for quite a few years and ended up being neighbors. Patty had a great heart fulled with love and pink flamigos. I will remember her with great fondness.

I've known Patty since high school. She was my best friend & we had lots of fun together. She will be greatly missed by those who were lucky enough to know her. My love & prayers go out to the family during this time of sorrow.

Patty and I have been friends since we were 19. We went through so many adventures and laughter and tears. She was my best friend and though I had moved away we continued to stay in touch our bond remained. I loved her very much She will always hold a place in my heart, I only wish I could have said good bye.But I know I will meet you at the gate!

I worked with Patty at KMC through her different positions, all of which she did with fun and a smile.  I have great memories of us working the KMC fair booth together with Margaret on Senior Day.  We kept in touch after we both retired and I was trying to get her up here to Oregon for a much needed break.  I pray she is in peace now and reunited with her Mom.
