Patti's favorite introduction of herself was. "I am Patti with an i and I won an Oscar".  She attended Elon College and received a business degree, and there is where she met her husband, Oscar.  Family was everything to her, her husband, four children and their spouses, ten grandchildren and twenty-one great-grandchildren.  She was a people person and loved making people feel "special".  Her smile would show people that somebody cared about them.  This love of others helped her in being a devoted Pastor's wife.  Together, she and Oscar pastored for 58 years at 12 different churches as full-time or interim ministries.  She loved being a Pastor's wife and supported her husband and loved on the members of the church.  Patti was the first director at Ebenezer Baptist Church Weekday Ministry.  She leaves a legacy of love, responsibility, friendliness and sharing Jesus through actions.

Patti's high school superlatives included being voted "Wittiest", basketball, majorette in the band, cheerleader, Glee Club and Bible Club.  She enjoyed crafts, painting Charleston Rainbow Houses on bricks and scenes on gourds, doing puzzles and she loved elephants
