Patti worked as a bookkeeper for many years, but her passion was thoroughbred race horses. She was the proud owner of many winning race horses. She was very passionate about her horses, but she was also passionate about her home and always made sure it was kept neat and clean and that everyone was well taken care of. She also loved her family and friends very much and enjoyed spending time with all of them. She enjoyed life and all that she had accomplished. She touched many lives over the years and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Patti was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters Mary Lou Dobson and Betty Jo Minor; and her brothers Frank E. Gladd, Paul B. Gladd, and Wirt Bud Gladd.
