Patty was a Library Media Specialist from 1983-2010 (27 years).

Patty is survived by her husband of 47 years, Dave Gass, two children, Jerome “JW” Gass and Alicia “Petie” Regan and husband Shawn all of Moberly, a brother, Rodney Maxwell and wife Shirley of Windsor, IL. Patty will also be fondly remembered by her two grandchildren, Gage Mast of Columbia and Morgan Regan of Warrensburg, nieces, nephews, other relatives, friends and her yellow lab, Ace.
Patty loved all animals, reading and quilting. She possessed a unique sense of humor and was always good for a laugh or sarcastic comment!
