Patricia, Patty was and is a wonderful person.
I have known Patty for several years.
We were companions with three others sisters at the St Louis Temple as Ordinance Workers for few years.
Party was kind n thoughtfull to everyone she met.
My friend Nancy Walton told me Patty gave her rides to the Church many times and also she took Nancy to be baptized at the Church if Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I will miss seeing her at church years back!
My prayers are with her loved ones. May the Lord bless them comfort and peace.

Though words can never fully capture the loss, we are deeply grateful for the kindness and warmth she always showed our family. She had a special way of making everyone feel loved and cared for, and my children always looked forward to being greeted by her at church and her treats that she would bring for them. Her thoughtfulness will be greatly missed, and our hearts go out to her family during this difficult time.
