Patti was a faith-filled woman, a dedicated teacher, and a treasured friend. How she lived her life was an example for all to follow. I know she was welcomed into Heaven with the same joy that she spread here on earth.
It was my privilege to be a friend of Patti’s while teaching at Prescott. She was a beautiful lady and wonderful coworker!
I will deeply miss this wise woman. We all will. We were blessed to call her friend
My aunt Patti made a definite impact on my life. She was a woman of strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and was a faithful servant. She served as a role model for me. She was a true picture of humility. Lowliness of mind that does not seek to exult or assert self, other focused it was never about her. Never grasped rights and privileges. Willingly served and helped others. And was a woman who obeyed God. Galatians 6 verse 9 states Don’t Grow weary from doing good we will reap a harvest. I will miss you. One day we will be reunited together in heaven. To God be the glory forever.
Fred and family So sorry for you loss. It’s never easy to say goodbye but your wonderful memories of Patti will help the void in your heart Hugs love and prayers for all of you your cousin Mary lou
Ms. Patti was always smiling and it was my pleasure to serve with her at church while attending Grandview Heights in Dubuque. She is now in the loving arms of Jesus and enjoying the promises of King Jesus. Mr. Fred and the rest of the family please know the “Schafer’s” are praying for you all during this time. Psalms 116:15
