Patricia Ann, age 61, passed away on September 19, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on January 18, 1963. Married the love of her life, Scott, June 10, 1989. Patti lived a life marked by love, humility, loyalty, joy, truth, and a zest for living. She loved well and left a mark on many with her kindness and contagious optimism. Competitive and playful, Patti enjoyed a round a golf, pickleball, cornhole, or any game that involved friends and family with a little competition and some laughs. Her retirement dream was to host gatherings with her husband and to serve the Lord together in some fashion. To sum it all up, Patti joyfully reflected her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ’s love for people, her family, and the life she was given.
