Patti started piano lessons in 4^th grade.  Music was her passion.

Patti has been a member of Covenant Church since 1959. When she joined there, she immediately got involved with choir and then started a youth choir and a teen boys quartet. I also served as a Deacon. 

In 1979,  Patti started a handbell choir.  It is the Unity Handbell Choir.  Covenant now also, has a second choir, the Salt and Light Ringers. She has taught all ringers that ringing is a dedicated group of great people who depend on each other, like a family, to share good music.  Everyone helps and works with each ringer.  We cannot ring without each other.

Patti worked for Belwin Publishing Company, before high school graduation. There she learned to write, edit, and arrange music. She was hired as a piano teacher, in one of their studios, while in 11^th grade.   She continued to teach piano and still does teach.  She is lucky to be able to teach piano by zoom, in NY.  She love arts, crafts, and painting.

She and her husband Stan live in East Goshen.  They both love yard work together and tend to many flower gardens.  They have 3 daughters and 8 grandchildren and one adopted granddaughter. Their life has been full of children and loving animals. They feel extremely blessed, in every way, for family, animal friends, as well as many Covenant friends.
