She considers daughters Penny and Maggie her finest accomplishments in life and granddaughters Scout and Izzy to be most delightful creatures. Patty has two fur children, cats Baby Kitty and Sally. A product of the Franklin County Schools and Kentucky State University, her first career was as a local florist, with flower-arranging still being a favorite endeavor. Joining Farmers Bank in 1983, Patty enjoyed 34 years there in the Marketing Department and with the much-celebrated Capital First Ladies, a travel group the bank sponsored. She has been many places around the world including favorites Ireland, Alaska, Russia, and South Africa. Nowadays, Patty makes her sought after benedictine and pimento cheese for friends. She heads the Board of Trustees at the Frankfort Cemetery and chairs the Housing Authority of Frankfort Board. Working at the Capital City Museum, serving as an Elder at First Christian Church, and reading books about Kentucky make this retiree very happy.
