Joyce Patti Obituary

Joyce Ann Patti

Joyce Ann Patti, 77, a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend, passed away April 15, 2020 at her home with friends and family by her side after a brief battle with cancer. Joyce was born in Johnstown, PA to the late William and Rhea Weyant.

Joyce was pre-deceased by her husband, Anthony Patti, the love of her life. They were married and lived in St Louis, Missouri before moving to California. They owned several businesses working side by side in California and continuing after relocating to Nevada. Together they loved to travel, spending the winter in Florida and summers in Nevada, always driving so they could take time to visit family and friends across the country.

Joyce was a beautiful artist and received many ribbons for her work in art shows. Using all mediums, she had the ability to up-cycle any material to transform them into beautiful pieces of art.

She was extremely proud of her family and leaves behind her daughter and son-in-law, two stepsons and their wives, her sister and her family and several grandchildren. In addition to her husband and parents, she also was pre-deceased by her son and stepdaughter.

A special Thank You goes to her wonderful Reno family and friends, Lend-A-Hand Senior Services and Infinity Hospice. Joyce chose not to have a service and asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Salvation Army and Infinity Hospice.
