They were lovingly joined in marriage on July 2, 1988. After graduation she worked at Dr. Laskowski’s dental office, Hooks Drugs, and Dr. Childress, Weimer and Weigel’s office. While working at the later, one of her great joys was working with her mother-in-law Teresa Wenning. They shared an inseparable bond, and Teresa’s influence on Patti was profound. After the birth of her first daughter Patti decided to raise her family at home. She began babysitting for many other children as well. Her home was always full of kids, fun, and laughter.

Bringing out the best in people was part of Patti’s very nature. She was always positive; always smiling. Patti loved to meet new people and discover new places. Together with her husband Brian she was able to travel to many beautiful places and put her toes in the sand while spreading her love and laughter. Patti was able to enjoy the simpler pleasures of life as well. Whether she was sitting poolside with her family and friends, working in her flower garden, or simply building a puzzle; she was happy and humble.
