Patti, as she was affectionately known to all who knew her, lived a life filled with love, laughter, and compassion. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Marylin Burns, as well as her eldest sister Lynn, and two older brothers, Dana and Robert Jr.

She is survived by her two daughters, Samantha and Jessica Sinatra of California, her son Chris T of Wisconsin, and her three grandchildren, Logan, Willow, and Allen. Patti was also cherished by her godfather Donald Stellflue. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always putting her family first and showering them with unconditional love.

Later in life, she found fulfillment as a quality assurance lead and an e-commerce seller. Her work ethic and attention to detail were admirable qualities that she carried throughout her career.

Beyond her professional life, Patti was deeply involved in her community as an ordained minister at the Freedom of Life Church. Her Spirituality was a guiding light in her life, and she found solace and purpose in helping others in any way she was able.

Patti’s interests were as varied as they were vibrant. She found joy in spending time at the farm and in nature, whether riding bikes, walking, playing tennis, or tending to her garden. Her love for the outdoors was infectious, and she shared that passion with all those around her.

Those who knew Patti would describe her as kind, honest, respectful, trustworthy, caring, compassionate, and sensitive. Her warm personality and genuine nature endeared her to everyone she met.
