It's hard to believe that we have lost such an amazing woman in our community. Mrs. Patterson will never be forgotten. Hold on to your wonderful memories, for they shall take you far. I remember as a child having her for PE. She instilled in me to always try your best and never quit. For that I am FOREVER thankful! My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

My deepest sympathies to the Patterson family. I just saw the notice in the paper. I always loved Mrs. Patterson as a teacher. The last time I saw her was at the memorial service for my parents. She was so supportive to me and I'll miss seeing her smile. I know she will live in memories forever.
