My heartfelt prayers and sympathy goes out to Patty’s family. Especially her sister Kathy. Our community & church has lost a special lady. Patty was across the hall from my Mom in the hospital when Mom entered hospice. Patty would come every evening to sit with me and talk. Those visits meant the world to me. Even though she was dealing with her own issues, she still made time to give of her own self to others. She was a first responder on the Hiwassee Volunteer rescue the day my Father in law passed. She also supported my sister in law at her cancer benefit this past year. She worked serving our community for many years at Shopeez. Our community won’t be the same without her feisty, funny, witty, selfless, & compassionate spirit. Enjoy Heaven, Patty! We will miss you on this side.

My mom was part of the Atkins clan (Joy Ann) and she grew up with Patty and her siblings. I spoke to patty last year regarding some ancestry.com questions I had. I ended up doing a family search for Patty relating to her mom and dad. We spoke several times on the phone.. very nice lady !! I’m sorry to learn of her death.
