Patti was a devoted wife, married to her beloved husband Jerry Busch for 45 years. Together, they created a loving life filled with warmth and cherished memories. Patti was a proud mother to her children, Regina "Gina" George and her husband Joey, and Jeremy "Bubba" Busch and his wife Mandy. Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren Rozalyn Busch, Rhiley George, Braysen Davis, Angela Busch, Willow George, Jason Busch, and Omar Garcia, as well as her great-grandchild Emiliano Garcia, who brought immense joy to her life.
She is also survived by her siblings, Pam Warren and her husband Greg, Wyma Wall and her husband Rick, and Wyman Wilhite Jr. and his wife Elizabeth.

An enthusiastic individual, Patti had a passion for cooking, shopping, fishing, and camping. She cherished time spent watching NASCAR and loved country music, which resonated deeply within her. Her favorite flower was pink roses, a symbol of her radiant spirit and love for beauty.
Patti spent her life taking care of and loving her husband and her two children. She was so kind and caring to everyone and always thought of others. For over the past twenty years she spent her time spoiling all of her grandbabies. Family was her whole life and heart.
