Patricia was born on May 9, 1941, in Columbus, Ohio. She later moved to Chula Vista, California, where she spent her childhood before ultimately making her home in La Mesa. Her life was one filled with curiosity, quiet adventure, and simple joys. She had a deep love for cooking and baking-her holiday treats, especially her famous cookies and fudge, were treasured by everyone who knew her.

She will be remembered for her generosity, loyal heart, wisdom, and quiet strength. Her kindness touched those around her in countless ways, and her influence will live on in the lives of the many people she loved.

A memorial service will be held at a future date at Glen Abbey Memorial Park in Bonita, California, where she will be Interned with the Bolender family. Family and friends will be invited to honor her memory and celebrate her life.

Patricia's presence will be deeply missed, yet her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her.
