Patty's life was a testament to selflessness and love. She held her family, especially her extended family, close to her heart and took great joy in watching her nieces and nephews grow, helping to nurture them as if they were her own. Known for her boundless energy, Patty loved walking, road trips and reading, particularly historical books, brought her lots of joy as did trying her luck at the casino. Her sisters were her best friends and forever companions through life.
