Patricia Lochner

Patti and I have known each other since 1982. She was an inspiration, confidant, advisor and dear friend. She touched so many lives with her positivity and kindness. She kept busy, but always had time to talk to you. She loved teaching and her work as a union activist. She was a mentor to her students and kept in touch with many of them. She was an amazing friend and I will miss our chats. RIP Patti.

Patti was a good friend and union activist who loved life to the utmost. She will be missed very much. We used to joke about the fact that we were born on the same day and time just ten years apart so that made us sisters. We were also knitting partners making blankets and shawls for the sick. I love you very much.

Patti Lochner was a dear friend who kept me on the right path. She was my confidant, advisor, and surrogate mother. One thing I noticed about Patti...she had more friends than I could count. In Lee County, Patti was an icon. I miss her terribly.

Patti, you will be missed. You made a difference with your students, your colleges, and the community of Fort Myers. Your hard work and dedication to your profession went above and beyond expectations. You are loved by so many. May God Bless you as you have blessed us.
