Patti loved traveling and watching Wisconsin sports. Above all, family was everything to Patti and all looked forward to her annual Christmas letter as that was her favorite holiday.

Time spent with Peter, her two boys and their families was Patti’s, “little slice of heaven,” She had a warm, genuine soul and was known to put everyone first. Patti will be deeply missed by so many.
