Bill,Spencer, and Breanna please accept my deepest sympathies over the passing of your wife and mother, Patti. She was a wonderful person and touched the hearts of all that met her. I worked with her at the OP School. She was amazing at her job and the unofficial boss of the school. She was loved by all students and staff alike. She was a dear friend and always had your back. She was a spark that would light up the staff in a positive way. I have many fond memories of Patti, especially those CKUA fundraisers at the Vat. I hope you can find some solace and peace in the many happy memories you have of her. I know she loved her family very much. Take comfort in one another and your life with Patti. I feel very privileged to have known her, worked with her, and to have considered her my friend! Heaven is a little brighter with her there. ~ Del Lomsnes

May your memories of her provide you with smiles and warmth as you heal. She was so very proud of her family. Take care, Julene Madill ~ Julene Madill

Bill, Spencer and Breanna my heart breaks for you. The world has lost a very special, kind and fun loving lady. I worked with Patti at OP, I appreciated her concern for the little muffins in the school, her love of books, her great sense of humour, and her love of a little mischief! This is such a difficult time, please know that we would all like to be there to offer a hug, offer support, food, whatever we could to help. I will treasure my happy memories of Patti, I can see her smile and hear that little giggle. My sincere condolences. ~ Lynn Pickering

Dear Bill,Spencer and Breanna, My heart is broken and will be aching for a very long time over the loss of our dear, sweet Patti. I say “our” because your dear wife and mother was a bright spot in so many people’s lives. The first time I met her was on a home visit to welcome you, Spencer, and later you, Breanna, into my classroom. Patti thanked me for coming, offered me tea and made me feel so welcome in your home. I went away with a big smile, knowing this lovely lady was a wonderful mother and would always be welcome as a helper in my classroom. I wasn’t wrong, but what I didn’t know then was that she would become a dear friend and work colleague. I know that you all have a very difficult road in front of you; it is so hard to lose someone you love so very much. You have many friends you can count on to help you along the way , I hope you consider me one of them. (Please call if I can help in any way.) You also have so many wonderful memories to cherish and although it is painful to think of them now, I promise that one day they will bring you comfort and even joy because you were so blessed to have had Patti in your lives. Anyone who knew her was blessed. I wish you all love, peace and healing. ~ Evelyn Evans

Bill, Spencer & Breanna, I am so sorry to hear of Patti's passing. I worked with her at Oriole Park School and her friendliness always made trips to the office enjoyable. The Kindergarten Kids were always happy to talk to her and Patti was always thrilled to listen to them recite poems and sing songs in the office. Patti did an excellent job taking care of the library and she was always so helpful when new K parents came into the office to register or when they needed assistance. I send my sympathies and hope you find comfort in your special memories of Patti. ~ Kim Baile

I’m so sorry to see that Patti has passed. She was a friend of mine in our early teenage years until our 30s, where we slowly drifted apart. We attended each other’s weddings and kept in touch across the miles for many years. We would always have a good laugh, she had a good sense of humour. I was just thinking of her and wondering about her, what a shock. May you Rest In Peace Patti. Sharon ~ Sharon Pospishell (Weppler)
