Patty was a selfless person who illuminated the lives of those who knew her. She thrived on spending time with her family and close friends. A true people person, Patty blessed the lives of so many she met along her life’s path. She was the life of the party, looking for a reason to celebrate every day. She loved to travel, especially to Colorado to see her family and NYC where her father would bring her as a child. She also enjoyed her casinos.
Patty loved her Christian faith and was a member of the St. Theodore’s Parish and Choir. She also attended Sacred Heart Cathedral, at times, where she had made her Holy Sacraments.
She was a very well-liked and longtime employee of the City of Rochester, and a Union Member, for over 40 years.
Her legacy of love and compassion will live on in her family’s hearts!
