Patty was employed for 39 years with the University of Virginia, 3 years at the PVCC Giuseppe Center where she also earned her Associates Degree in 2015. As the people person she was, her last position at The Harbor at the Renaissance, where she was the receptionist, allowed her to work closely and make many lasting impressions on patients, families, and especially the staff. She was a member of Preddy Creek Baptist Church where she loved serving the Lord, performing mission work and her church family. She had a love for all animals especially her dogs, the beautiful sound of the ocean, all children, especially Cassidi and David Hines and their parents, Jonathan and Mandy, the UVA Wahoos and Green Bay Packers. She had a passion to crochet and make many other types of crafts which she sold at area craft shows. Her favorite thing on Sundays was to attend church and take spontaneous trips with her husband Phil not knowing where they would end up. Speaking from my heart, “Words cannot describe the love I have for you, Phil. We have been through many life challenges together and I love you for taking such good care of me.”To my beloved daughter, Stephanie, “I love you with all my heart. You do a great job taking care of all God’s creatures and I am so proud at how you stayed faithful and followed your dream.“ The family would like to extend their gratitude to the compassionate care of the Martha Jefferson Oncology Clinic, Cornell Unit, and Hospice of the Piedmont that was given to our family during this time.
