Patti was our contact person for many years as we officiate at worship on Sundays in Via Christi (Lourdes) Chapel. I just learned of her death and I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a good friend, always cheerful and helpful as we worked together in holding non- Roman Catholic worship at OLOL since 1996. We shall miss her and our sympathy and prayers go to her family. We shall also remember her at our Altar of St Thomas Becket Church at the celebration of the Holy Eucharist in...

So sorry Patti is gone but so grateful for all she taught us. She faced each day with style and grace, no matter how hard it may have been. Her quiet, kind way in the face of diminishing hope will stand as a great example for us all. How lucky were we to have shared in her life?

It was a blessing to sit side-by-side with Patti each day. Patti was a constant reminder of how to live our lives in faith, hope and love of others. Love and prayers to her family.

Iam very sorry to learn about Patti's passing! We grew up together and had many fun and happy times together. I lost contact over the years with her until a while back I ran into her at Via Christi. We exchanged numbers to spend more time together and try to catch up on our lives. I regret not ever doing that. I have always loved her and will miss her very much! I will keep her and her family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

I first started working for Via Christ in 2001, I remember meeting Patti and thinking that she was one of the nicest, most helpful people I had ever met. And as the last 10 years went by, every time I ran into her in the hospitals or out in the community, she has always remained one of the nicest, sweetest person, with the kindest heart. I consider it an honor to have known her. Our prayers are with her, and her family. God Bless.

I too worked with Patti at Wesley in the 1980's. She was always positive and happy. I also purchased Mary Kay makeup from her. I am sorry for your loss. I know she will be missed by all those who knew her. Debbie Wilson

I have many warm and uplifting memories of Patti at OLOL. She made me want to be a better person and was an inspiring example of a life well lived in all aspects. I hurt for your loss and will be praying.
