Over the years Patti worked at various places in Sheridan WY, but her most rewarding job in this life was being a wonderful mother and caregiver. Pattide voted her life to taking care of her mother and her 2 children. She enjoyed being a homemaker and loved warming the hearts and seeing the looks of joy on people’s faces when she presented them with a gift that was handmade by her. Patti’s favorite past times were painting, sewing blankets for her grandchildren, cooking, and most of all spending as much time as she could with her grandchildren. She was always a ray of sunshine who always found the good in everyone and everything. Even in her last few days with us, she kept a smile on her face.
