She was a member of the Central Presbyterian Church and served on many church committees. Patty was a former member of P.E.O. and a 50 year member of the Order of Eastern Star. Her faith, family, friends and volunteering were the most important parts of her life. She enjoyed cooking, walking, gardening, sewing, and reading to school children.
