Patti loved cooking, especially Asian cooking and grew her own herbs in her garden, she was an accomplished chef and was able to cook any ethnic delicious meals especially on her days off and even for camp outs with her family and friends (at the camp site her meals included appetizer and feast for a King and Queen and many others and especially for family & friends gatherings during our holiday dinners).
She was an avid book reader (one to two books a week) and enjoyed traveling to sunny areas like Arizona, Mexico and Hawaii and most of all going camping with the family & friends and her dogs, Ichi & Kazu (loved them like her kids), especially taking them to her favorite camping grounds in La Connor, WA..
She worked in the restaurant business her entire adult life and her customers missed her dearly when she retired early.
