She was a 1966 graduate of Altoona Area High School. She worked as a nurse's aide at Altoona Hospital and cherished her role as a homemaker for her husband and son. She was a member of the Abundant Life Church, Altoona.
Patti had a servant heart and shared the love of God through mission trips with Don to Bolivia, Israel, Argentina, Ecuador, Venezuela, Austria and Hawaii. She enjoyed gardening, bird watching, coloring and deer watching in their backyard. She especially loved the trips with her grandchildren to Cape May and Pittsburgh.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be dearly missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
