Patty is the cherished daughter of Lloyd and Trudy Wilson, sister to Tara Jane (Mark) Rideout, Tricia and Lloyd Wilson Jr., auntie to Ronnie, Liam and Patrick Rideout. Dearly loved by her grandparents Elsie and Lawrence Wilson, Barbara and Victor Richardson.

Patty’s outgoing personality, politeness and smile captured many hearts. Patty accomplished numerous awards with her schooling and enjoyed working at Chrysalis, Rehoboth Ministries and L’Arche.
