Patricia Sparkman Ratcliff

I share fond memories with the students and teachers at CLES remembering Mrs. Ratcliff. As a brand new kgn. teacher in 1974, she shared with me the qualities that I still cherish.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Mrs. Ratcliff was my first grade teacher. Such a wonderful lady, she'll always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Ratcliff's family during this time.

Teddy and Leslie - please accept my condolences. I have so many fond memories of your mother. She was such a great band mom and we had such wonderful times with the LHS Band.

Teddy, I am so sorry for your loss and I pray you know I will be here for you in the weeks to come, when you find your self in need of a friend to talk to. --my heart is open and my shoulders are strong.

So sorry for your loss. Even though I knew Patty well, I wish I could have gotton to know her better. Florida also lost a wonderful teacher. We will miss her, specially during the holidays. Rich & Linda Peraza (Titusville, FL)

Leslie and Teddy, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a wonderful lady, loved by all. We had some great times on Sunshine Drive, she is the last of the "originals". Cherish the memories! Love you all.

Sorry for you loss Leslie. I am sure she is in a better place now. Trtust me, I have been there.

Once of the classiest ladies I've ever known! A wonderful teacher, mom and friend. Patty, you will be missed!!

I will always remember her sitting in her rocking chair reading to my first grade class. I will also remember her sitting in the pew in the 2nd to last row on the aisle at Crystal Lake Untied Methodist Church. She has been an inspiration in my life. She was also best friends with my grandma. I'm sure they are sharing stories with each other in Heaven. She will forever be missed. Thank you, Mrs. Ratcliff for everything.
