I am a fellow graduate of Patty’s from W&L Law School. I am so saddened to hear the news of Patty’s passing. Patty was one of the nicest and kindest people I remember for school. As we are coming up on our 30th reunion, Patty will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by her classmates. My deepest sympathies to Patty’s friends and family. — Nanette C. Heide (‘90L)
I was fortunate to work with Pat from 1981 to 1987 at Kaplan, SMith & Associates. On Facebook I refer to her as a “younger sister”. She was a sweet, kind person and a highly competent associate and later a lawyer! Thirteen years after I left KSA my family was visiting DC and I still had contact info with Pat. My wife, daughter and I had dinner with Pat in Arlington in 2000. She is missed.
