One did not need to know Patty well to see how creative, generous, and fun-loving she was. My deepest condolences go out to the Wallace family.

My heart aches learning of her passing. I have so many wonderful memories of her and our shared days as Cooker servers. Her wit unmatched and her laughter infectious. When she invited me around her grad school friends, I felt like I had the best big sister ever! My favorite memory might be the trip to Chicago with 30+ grad students who didn't belong in a hotel that nice! My sincere condolences to Doug and her children.

I´m so sorry. Patty and Doug led a group of kids (including my daughter, Katrina) in a cooperative imaginative journey that was so interesting! I loved walking with Patty. Her warmth and good humor were so uplifting. A bright light who was so easy to feel comfortable around. Hugs to family.

I miss her beyond measure. If you didn´t love her, then you didn´t know her.

Broken hearted to hear of Patty´s passing. We shared so many fun times in the 90´s working at Cooker. Patty was well-loved by everyone there. Funny, kind, smart; just a wonderful person. I´m so very sorry, Doug, Maeve, Maya, and Kelly.
