Patti was an amazing wife, and mother and was always there when you needed her. She loved fiercely and never met a person she didn’t love. Her hugs felt like Jesus’ arms around you. She loved holidays more than anything and loved being with her family and making sure that the holidays had good food and lots of love. She loved teaching preschool at her church and serving in various ministries.

Her faith was strong, and she loved Jesus with her whole heart. We know she is fully healed in heaven today.
