Patti was born on April 2, 1943 in Rochester, NY to Joe and Dot Scheuch. She grew up in Charlotte and attended St. Charles Borromeo School from kindergarten through 8th grade, followed by Charlotte High School. After highschool, she worked for the telephone company for 3 years as an operator. She met and married the love of her life, Charlie in 1964. After the birth of their first child, she stayed home to care for her family. When Charlie became active in the Hilton Fire Department, she joined the Ladies Auxiliary. After 20 years of service, she was awarded Life Member status. She went on to actively serve in the Auxiliary for over 59 years and was awarded a "Citation for Outstanding Service to her Community" from the New York State Assembly. She went back to work for several years as a lunch monitor for the Hilton Central School District.
In her leisure, she loved playing golf and played in several leagues. She also enjoyed gathering with various friends on weekends for breakfast and dinner outings, traveling - including taking 5 cruises, going to casinos, and just sitting out in the sunshine on her deck.
She was a kind and loving person who would do anything to help others. She was known to send cards or bring flowers to friends and loved ones for any occasion. She loved to host family parties. She always went above and beyond. She made every birthday, anniversary and holiday special. Spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was the highlight of her life. She was a devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
