Patti loved her children and grandchildren with a passion and reveled in their successes and was always there to be supportive.  She enjoyed cooking, reading, politics, and crossword puzzles and never lost her desire to learn.

George and children Steven George, Judith (David) Shortess, Terry (Anita) George, and Timothy George, 5 grandchildren and 2 step-grandchildren.   She is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Judith Korback, brother-in-laws Edward Korback and Harris Jr. George, and sister-in-law, Linda George.
