From my production staff at Transcontinental, a parting message:
Patti made everyone feel valued, appreciated, and respected everyone the same. Approachable, understanding, compassionate and a warm heart, Patti was always there for her team. Not only did she manage the work at hand, she was always a part of the solution. As a team leader, Patti has always absorbed the external pressures of office politics with grace and utmost professionalism. Not only did she rise above the occasion she often found ways to make it humorous. Her ‘angels’ will always remember her kind heart, warm personality and clever mind.
