Patty was a loving mother and aunt. She was a huge football fan, and her and her son would constantly cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars and The Ohio State University Buckeyes. She loved to go watch Nascar, especially Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr, and she got many autographs. She loved sporting events, especially rodeos. Patty loved taking many trips on the back of a Harley. She was very proud of her motorcycle vest and made many friends around the country. Daytona Bike Week was one of her favorite events every year. Patty was always ready for a new adventure and vacation. She loved traveling all over the US and other countries, including Hawaii and Canada. Patty loved cats and was known as the neighborhood cat lady. She could never turn away stray. She may say she didn’t have a favorite, but Roady and Tigs will always hold a special place in her heart.
