Patty was born on February 1, 1954, in Springhill, Louisiana. She was a resident of Shreveport for over 50 years. Patty was a proud graduate of Louisiana State University.

Patty was preceded in death by her parents, R.C. and Katherine. She is survived by her beloved dog Buggzy, her longtime companion, Pat Watson, numerous cousins, including Janet McDermott, and many friends who loved her and will miss her witty remarks and dry sense of humor.
