My wife received a call from Patty's daughter Margret, that on August 13th Patty has finished her journey here and is on to her next. Didn't get into details, but appears to be nothing other than age catching up to her. I know that people had some rough dealings with her business, after her retiring due to illness, we did too, but there's no need to rehash that now.
Once Patty moved out of Penasco and into her daughter house in Cholla and across the street from us, we were able to spend more time with her and reminisce about the old times. Like back when she was the CB operator and launch director...and many more. The many dinners, celebrations and sometimes heartache that our family shared with hers. Although the physical part of her was slowing down, she was still very cognitive and able to converse quite well. It's a shame that the traditions of burials didn't allow us one last time to see her off, but we will relish the memories that we still have.
