Patty is survived by her husband Benny, daughters Jessica and Jackie, grandchildren Jade, Savahna, Carlos and Alex, sister Judy and brother in law Skip. Patty was known for her kind heart and the fierceness she loved with, so being Grandma Bear fit her perfectly. Who knew while shopping at the Piggly Wiggly she would meet the love of her life. Patty and Benny were married for 54 years. They shared a fun and loving life together, they both enjoyed spending time together outside in the backyard. Patty loved to plant a garden, grow plants and flowers, sit outside on the warm summer evenings drinking a Pepsi. In her younger years Patty was an athlete then continued her enjoyment of sports by watching her husband, kids and grandkids play. Patty loved being around family and friends, having barbecues, going to the casino and going out to eat. Patty touched the lives of so many people and will be greatly missed.
