Everybody's favorite Craven, Patty was the life of any party, which truly did not start until she arrived. If you knew one of us, you also knew Patty because she was an integral part of our lives. Born in Boston in an early season snowstorm on November 10, 1976, Patty enjoyed life and never hesitated to tell you what she thought of you, which most of the time was a warmly smiling hearty "I love you." Patty loved, in no particular order, going to church, voting, ice cream, hanging out with her friends and family, living independently with her roommates and staff of MAB Community Services, making jokes, music, year-round Christmas carols, cake, pizza parties and only the best jumbo shrimp. Be like Patty: Tell people that you love them because life is short.
