I was first introduced to Patty when my daughter Crystal, married Rich. I immediately felt a connection with her. She was always a pleasure to be around and treated Crystal just like a daughter. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I’m sorry for your loss.

Patty and I met over 30 years ago when we both worked with the Wake County Public School System. We were data managers at different schools but attended meetings together and became friends. Through the years of job changes, getting to know each others families and growing closer as friends, Patty proved to be a true friend to me. We had a small group (Diane, Carolyn, Patty and the 2 Sandras) that met often for holidays, trips and birthdays. We enjoyed meals together that included great talks, gift sharing, some tears and concerns for each other and always lots of love.
We cared about each others families and enjoyed hearing updates. Patty loved our families and we loved and still love her's.
Patty has now joined her precious family members in Heaven and our dear friend Carolyn. I will forever cherish our friendship and I know that one day we will meet again in our Heavenly home.
My thousand prayers are with Jim and all his beautiful family.

Patty was a good loving woman who adored her family. My step-daughter is married to Patty’s son, Rich. The support she has given them over the years speaks to the kind of lady she was. Always thinking of others before herself. She loved her husband, Jim, her children, Rich and Jamie, her daughter-in-law, Crystal and her grandchildren, Grae, Emma, Alex, Zach, and Parker. Her family was her life. The times my wife Wanda and I were around Patty was always pleasant and fun. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Rest in peace, Patty.
