You will be missed more than you ever knew. You introduced us to people, places and sights we would never have seen without your friendship and companionship.
I will miss you Pattie _ your kindness, graciousness and friendship. My deepest condolences to all your family.
Pattie was my mom and dad’s first grandchild. My first niece. I remember the first time Loretta and Dick brought her home to the farm. She was the cutest baby and Margie and I fought over who got to hold her all the time. We love you Pattie and we’re gonna miss you.
We will never forget you, Pattie. You were so fun-loving, kind, adventurous, artistic, and genuine. You were my sister by another mother. We will miss you dearly. We will take care of Jim for you. Much love to you always.
Grief never ends but it changes it’s a passage not a place to stay grief is not a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith it is the price of love.
Pattie was number one grandchild and niece. I was 13 when she arrived and her three aunts treated her like a little “rag doll “ poor baby! I was with her when she took her last breath along with her Aunt Beth. We were very grateful to be with her in the end. God bless and keep you in his arms beautiful niece Pattie. We love you to the heavens and back.
My deepest condolences to Jim and her family. The Lord has welcomed home beautiful lady.

We will miss Pattie’s smile, her wit, her gracious spirit, and thoughtfulness. She was smart, talented, and a great trip planner.
Pattie was one of our favorite friends who we will always miss. Hopefully God will use her to paint some beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
Jim, Megan, Erin, Andrew and Corwin, Fialka and Ryan Families, Pattie’s life blessed so many of us. Our children shared lots of time together during their young years. Even after moving away, she never lost contact, dropping in to catch up and though she herself was fighting a health battle, Pattie regularly knocked on the door to bring me samples of her creative recipes She was decorator, seamstress and chef but mostly my dear friend. May you rest peacefully, Pattie.
Cuz Cuz
I am heartbroken for you and all of your family. I know exactly how much you two loved and enjoyed each other. I am always here.
