A Kutis South County Chapel Service
I worked with Patty for many years, and I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
She was a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and she loved Michael more than anything in the world.
This is just heartbreaking..
I’m sending prayers for Patty and for your family.
My deepest sympathy to such a beautiful person. May she rest in peace after such a battle throughout her life. Heaven has gained another angel.
Patty was one of the nicest people I have ever met! Every time she saw me outside she would smile and wave. She was an amazing mother and overall great person. Sending love to Michael and the rest of her friends and family. Rest in peace Patty.
A loving mother and a truly truly special soul. Heaven gained a remarkable angel. Your warmth and kindness will live on in everyone who was blessed by knowing you. May Mike know that she loved him with all she had.
Beautiful, kind, intelligent, angelic Patty.. Rest in Peace. No more suffering because your mission on earth is completed.
We will always love you , and the joy you brought into Ron and my life. Michael had the best mom ever, and our prayers are within and the family.
Devastating to hear. Patti’s natural kindness and sweet soul made her such a joy to talk to. As a coworker, she made the pandemic time tolerable by staying in touch. I enjoyed the opportunity to chat, especially about our boys. Condolences to her son whom she loved so much and her family and friends.
It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I hear this news…I’ve known Patty for many years while working at Novus. Always smiling, always a positive and fun attitude. You can see in her eyes that she truly enjoyed life and being a caring and loving mother. Patty will be deeply missed, never forgotten. Please accept my deepest condolences and prayers. Patty is now at peace in God’s kingdom. Rest in peace Patty, rest in peace.
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Patty one summer about 33 years ago under the weirdest circumstances! Lots of us were leaving Caleco’s (now Chevy’s) in south county at closing time on a Sunday evening. The automatic sprinklers had turned on for the entire Dierberg’s Shopping Center Plaza. The top was down on my Mustang Convertible, parked right in front of Caleco’s, near one of the sprinklers. Needless to say, my car was getting rained on!!! We both stood there and laughed for about 30 seconds before I got in the car to put the top up. We remained good friends ever since. Casual dates, trivia nights at Hooters, and lots more get-togethers at Caleco’s. Not a sweeter person anyone could have been. My thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family.
My heart is broken twice; once for the loss of my beautiful friend, and a second time for her young son, Michael, who she loved so very much. Patty was an amazing person and an amazing mother.💔💔 when you meet her, it is impossible not to love her and that is what happened to me 30+ years ago.
My deepest condolences to all of her friends and family 🙏🙏🙏 we all share the understanding of the severity of this loss. Patty will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, my dear friend 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Patty was my cherished friend and colleague for almost a decade, even though she was almost 20 years younger. She was a bright light in the St. Louis Rams organization, loved by all. Her courageous battle with cancer years ago was an inspiration to everyone, and it is so heartbreaking that she had to suffer again. After retiring from the Rams in 2017, I moved to Texas to be granny-nanny for my first grandson, so I hadn’t seen Patty in over seven years. She reached out to me in January to tell me about her new battle, but still had that positive outlook, so excited to share news of Michael, now 21 and 6’2 … graduated from college, and as always, her heart and soul. I have heard from many of the coaches I worked with over the years and they all expressed their condolences, and memories of “sweet Patty, a wonderful lady, a devoted mom, and one of the nicest people they ever met”. Rest in Peace, Patty. We were all blessed to know you.
We were long time friends and my sister’s best friend years ago. At the beginning of the year we were going to try and connect again since it had been many years since I last saw her. It never happened. I’m sad we missed connecting for one last time. Rest my friend. I will see you again. In the mean time give mom a hug from me. I’ll see you in heaven one day.
Many prayers for Michael. All the neighbors will help Michael and make sure he’s ok.
Today is the day you will be laid to rest,
But you know what they say,
God only takes the best.
Everything happens for a reason,
Even if we may not agree.
Just promise to look after us,
And if you can,
Save a spot up there for me.
The thought of never seeing you again brings tears to my eyes,
And even more so,
Because all of this was such a surprise.
But we should never question what God has planned.
Sometimes it’s not meant for us to understand.
So as we sit here and mourn the loss of a beloved friend,
We have to keep telling ourselves that we will meet again.
Rest In Peace
