We have known Patty from the early days of their marriage - she is truly a larger than life person with a warm heart and a fun, upbeat personality. She could light up any room and had a way of making others feel good about themselves. She lived life to the fullest and showed courage in the way she
faced her recent trials. We will remember her fondly and cherish the memories of our times together. We pray for Gary and their family as they experience the difficult times that accompany this loss. God Bless you all.

If you looked up the word joyful you would describe this lovely lady. Always with a smile, a caring heart, devoted to her friends, family and to the many children's lives she touched.
The angels are dancing in heaven today-for they now get to have the joy that you Patty Spahr (Peaches) brought to us.
Until we meet again, I will carry fond memories always.
