Patti was the daughter of Virginia and Kellog Krebs and was born 20 November 1936, in Pasadena,Ca. The family moved to Palo Alto where Patti lived until she attended the Colorado Women's College and Denver University in Colorado. After college, Patti married into the Air Force and was the dedicated service wife. Patti was a member of the Torrace community for 23 years and she will be dearly remembered for her tremendous love for her family and her truly generous and forgiving heart.

She is survived by her husband retired Colonel Victor Yoakum, daughter Susan, son Eric, niece Marcie Yoakum Notar, nephews Vance Jr. and John Yoakum; her aunt Ruby Krebs, cousins Kenny and Jerry Krebs and Carolyn Carson of the Palo Alto area, and many friends. Her parting has left a void filled with so much remembered joy, love and friendship shared.
