In her life, Patti was a member of the Girl Scouts of America, a member of the Andrew Jackson High School Band, and a little Colonel of Chalmette National Battlefield. Patti’s love of travel and camping began at an early age as she and her family camped in all 48 contiguous states and Canada during summer vacations and continued in her married life with Dennis and Andrew. Patti loved music and enjoyed playing the glockenspiel, dulcimer, and piano. At a very early age, Patti’s lifelong love of animals was apparent when 2 year old Patti was found rocking a bumble bee that had died, softly singing a song. Patti enjoyed remodeling and renovating homes and furniture. She retired as a dental front desk administrator and soon began life as a homemaker. She also enjoyed gardening, art, sewing, making friends, and spending time with her happy family.
