Patty was a cherished presence in the lives of her family and friends. As a loving mother, supportive sister, and caring friend, she was the best mother to Jessica (Jakaya) Wilson and Kaley (Kyle) Bonfey. Her love for her grandchildren-Alexz, Teagan, Kyndall, Raegan, Calae, Everleigh-and her great-grandson, Caelum, was evident in the warmth and affection she shared with them. Patty was also a loving sister to Kerry Peterson, with whom she shared a loving bond, and to Janey Jacobson, Bobby, Donald, and David. Additionally, her longtime best friend Lorraine Harrison. She brought joy and laughter to everyone she met. Patty will be deeply missed.

What we loved:

Her humor radiated like sunshine on a rainy day, with a wit sharper than a chef's knife. Her laughter was a pure melody, and that smile could illuminate even the darkest rooms. Her honesty and loyalty stood as strong as a rock. She possessed a magical touch; just being near her felt like home, reminding us that family is the treasure at the end of life's rainbow!

There will be no services at this time. A celebration of life will be held when the warmer weather comes.
