She was a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church, Hubbard, Ohio. Her absolute favorite place to be was Florida, her second home. In addition, she enjoyed walking on the beach, being in the sun, placing her toes in the sand, and listening to the sound of the waves crashing along the shore. Furthermore, Patty absolutely loved flamingos and collecting sea shells.
