Retired well before Bob, Patti enjoyed taking care of and loving on her grandchildren along with so many "adopted" grandchildren who all knew her as "Ding Ding".

Always up for an adventure with friends and family alike. She spoke highly of her church and was a loyal member along with Bob. Patti played the organ at Salem Baptist Church where she was a member from high school until the early 90's.

Her faith in God guided her through in her care and love for others.

Patti was very passionate about paying it forward. As a tribute to her, she would enjoy everyone to perform a random act of kindness.
