Patti lived a life centered on faith, family, and service to others. She was a devoted member of Sunrise Presbyterian Church, where she found joy in fellowship and serving those around her.

Whatever it was, baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, showing cattle or team roping, Patti was always there for “The Boys”!  Patti loved to fish and was a really good turkey hunter!

Patti was known for her warm hospitality and generous spirit. Patti loved cooking, hosting gatherings, and making others feel welcome in her home. Whether preparing meals for family and friends or lending a helping hand, she found great fulfillment in caring for others.

Patti is survived by her husband Pat; and her sons Jake (Keri) of Bozeman, MT, and Josh (Heather) of Minneapolis, KS; as well as her grandchildren Tyler, Karsen, and Kate Breeding. Also survived by her sister Gail Locke; brother Jim Robinson; nieces and nephew; and extended family. They will remember her for her kindness, strength, and the love she shared so freely.

Patti’s legacy of compassion, faith, and love for family will be cherished by all who knew her.  She certainly understood and lived the word disciple.
