Patti was an active member of the Greenbelt Community.  She was involved in the Greenbelt Boys and Girls Club, CYO President of St. Hugh’s Catholic Church, and PTA President of Eleanor Roosevelt High School.  She was also very active in the political world, proud to serve as Treasurer in her brother’s successful legislative campaigns. Patti was an Associate Agent with Nationwide Insurance Company, following in the footsteps of her brother and her Dad. Patti thoroughly enjoyed and treasured her co-workers and serving her esteemed customers.  Patti was known for her great sense of humor and for her warm heart.  She often served as a surrogate mother, not just to her family, but to other young members of the Community.  She was always there to lend an ear or offer that "Patti" advice that we will dearly miss. Patti lived for others.  She gave of herself incessantly in her desire to see others pleased.  Patti provided a home for her Mom and Dad in the senior years of their lives with love, devotion and humor.  She was a selfless loving person and a beautiful model for her family and for all others in her world.
