On September 6th, 2025, the world unexpectedly lost one of the kindest, most thoughtful, and rambunctious women it had ever seen. Although she had many titles, she greeted everyone the same: “Hi, I’m Patti.”

Always the social butterfly, Patti touched so many lives during her time with us here on Earth. Whether she was known to be ready to “give the shirt off her back” (a favorite saying of hers) to help someone in need, her highly adventurous spirit, or simply encouraging others to have a good time, our matriarch left pieces of her legacy with countless people from all walks of life across the globe. And with such great presence, comes great loss.

Patti took immense care of the people in her life, and would always drop anything when her family (both chosen and by blood) and friends needed her support. Now, in the wake of her loss, our family is humbly asking for your help to honor her in a way best suited for her. Just like Patti, we don’t expect anything from anyone and are grateful nonetheless.

The support, kind words, and sharing of memories everyone has provided since Patti left us to return to her mother, Char, in heaven have been so, so appreciated. She has truly provided us with the greatest gift she could have during this difficult time - all of you.

Now let’s work together and celebrate the life of the one and only Patti Mitchell.
