Patty was one of the sweetest, kindest and gentlest hearts I've ever had the pleasure to meet and know. We bonded quickly and developed a special friendship and I'm so blessed to have had her in my life although so briefly. Patty you are so loved and will be missed always. My heart goes out to her children and family. One of a kind. Love you Patty. Xoxo.

Jessie and Ben, my deep condolences to you and your families. Your mother loved you, your spouses and your four beautiful babies more than anything in this world. She will be watching you from heaven. I will miss my beloved Baby Sister for always. I think about her and miss her sweet face, winning smile and big brown eyes every single day. Love you Patty.

Our deep condolences to you and your families. We got to know Patty from living on Deer Valley. Patty was one of the kindest person I ever met. She always had a kind word. We exchanged recipes and have fond memories of times together. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I knew this "beautiful angel Patty" for only 5 months, yet she will forever be in my heart. We had wonderful conversations in the sunshine, started by her concern for me limping away from my car. It was then I noticed her dazzling cane and then her beautiful soul* We became instant friends, as we had many commonalities. My sincere sympathies to her family on losing such a loving Mother, Grama, sister and friend. May all your good memories give you peace now, and through the future. Patty is one very special Angel.
