Patton; paternal grandparents, Dean and Jane Travis; aunts and uncles, Carol and Jay Karp, of Newark, Robert and Judy Patton, of Dover, Linda Patton, of Wilmington, Jane and Gene Finneseth, of Minot, ND, Joanne and Vince Fabiano, of Princeton, NJ; and cousins, Daria and Michael Karp, Heather Patton-Graham, Brad Patton, Lemaine Peo, and Elena Fabiano; her boyfriend, Rob Jump; and many special friends.
