Patty was an avid scrapper who lost her fight with cancer in 2014 after battling it for several years. After she was diagnosed, she became involved in the Relay for Life program, helping to raise funds for cancer research through that organization. She would host events such as scrapbook crops to raise these funds.
Before her death, her friends had promised her they would continue the fundraising through the Relay. We have held scrapbook crops & other events for several consecutive years in her name. The 2020 pandemic stopped our fundraising for 1 year, but we came back in 2021 with a crafting garage sale, & we resumed our annual crop in 2022!
