Known for her passion for softball, Patti was a driving force in the sport, traveling across the country to train and mentor umpires. Her commitment to the game and the people in it left a lasting impact on countless individuals.
Beyond the field, Patti was a true friend to many - generous with her time, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear. She devoted many hours to volunteering with the elderly in her community, bringing warmth and comfort to those who needed it most.
Patti had a special place in her heart for her beloved dogs, her "fur babies," who brought her so much joy. Her love for animals was just one more way she showed her nurturing and giving spirit.
She is preceded in death by her parents. Patti is survived by her siblings, William Gunst (Harriet), Richard Gunst (Ann), Kathy Schwegmann (Jim), and Michael Gunst; and numerous nieces, nephews, and close friends.
