Patsy and I went to elementary and high school together. Since there were only 22 in our graduating class, all of us knew each other very well. Patsy was always friendly and fun to be around. The last time I saw her was at our class reunion (either 30 or 35 years) and I was amazed at how much she remembered from our school days. Several times she shared a "do you remember" story--and although I seldom remembered the specifics, I enjoyed hearing her stories from the 'good old days.'
My thoughts and prayers are with all of Patsy's family during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Sharyl (Steffens) Heiken

With the distance between Nebraska and Washington I never really got to know Patsy. The times I saw her was when I was little. My mom (her cousin) has told me many stories about them in their younger years and how Patsy's brother Jack was quite the trouble maker and always made every get together a memorable no one could forget.

I will forever remember Patsy...in the halls at Arnold El. She was the one I always hoped to see every morning...as we loved to share stories about our grandbabies. How she sparkled when she would tell me about their fun times together! She was special...very special.

I am certain that I would have dropped out of college my first year if it hadn't been for my next-door neighbor, Patsy. She helped me get through a very difficult time. She was a caring and compassionate friend and I am blessed to have been able to know her.

Remembering the junior high and high school days that our children shared bring back a lot of smiles. The musical abilites that came from our young ones was such a pleasure to be apart of. Our family enjoyed the times shared with the Corner family. Patsy's smiles, support, and love of family will be memories treasured forever. May God's Blessing shine upon you during this difficult time.
