Born on September 13, 1941, in Sprague, West Virginia, Patty grew up with a joyful spirit and a steadfast faith that would guide her throughout her life. As a proud military wife and mother of three young daughters, she embraced adventure and service, traveling the world from Africa to the Philippines and across the United States, from the coast of California to the shores of South Carolina.

Blessed with artistic flair and a creative soul, Patty mastered sewing, painting, woodworking, and crafting. She shared her many gifts freely, touching countless lives with her generosity and talent. Her creations carried not only beauty but love-each piece a reflection of her caring heart.

A devoted child of God, Patty’s life was a testament to kindness, faith, and unconditional love. She will always be remembered for her warm smile, gentle spirit, and the comforting hugs that could brighten even the hardest of days.

Though she has gone to her heavenly home, the light she brought into this world will continue to shine through those who knew and loved her.

The family would like to thank Faith Foundation Hospice and all of the amazing caregivers who provided such loving care to their mother.
