While living in Yakima, she would meet and fall in love with the love of her life, Mike Hanratty. They would soon become married in 1964 and raise four wonderful children. Dad was moms everything and vice versa. Married for 57 years together and rarely spent time apart. Mom loved planting flowers and doing things in her yard. Her yard was proof of that as it was always beautiful. Mom also loved ceramics. She joined a ceramics class called Anns Ceramics and she would attend every Tuesday night. She became to be an expert in ceramics. So much so that she bought Ann out when she sold the business and ran it out of her own garage. Later in life, Patty worked for Jack Frost Fruit Co., spending 25 years there. She then went to work for Fred Meyer for 25 more years where she would eventually retire. Patty was afforded the luxury to get to travel around the world with her best friend, her husband, seeing places and visiting countries that others get to only dream about, making lots of memories. Mom was a wonderful mother to all of us kids. Were not sure what were going to do without her here. Patty is survived by her four children.
