Deepest sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Patty at Randalls and my husband and I enjoyed fun times with Louie and Patty. She was a sweet always smiling lady and will be missed. Rest in peace dear Patty.
My deepest sympathy to the entire Ronnfeldt Family. I always enjoyed my visits with Pat. RIP my friend ????❤️
Reading all the things she did for her community is amazing. Nana Pat will be missed. Always enjoyed chatting with her through the years, her baked goods, and she always had a calm/caring personality. Isabelle, our daughter, adored Nana Pat especially during her time at Huddles. At times Pat felt like the Isabelle whisper, she always found a way to soothe her as a baby. Plus a few summers ago I loved seeing Nana rocking and hugging her to take a nap even as a Kindergartener.
Ronnfeldts, our family’s thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
Sending my deepest condolences to Patty’s family. She was like another Grandma for me growing up and one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. I will remember her always!
Dearest Julie,
We’re so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you!
Patty was a lifelong friend from High School days and we kept in touch until recently when her condition worsened. She had a long fulfilling life. Rest in Peace, Patty.
Our sympathy to Patty ‘s family. Patty always had time to visit whenever we ran into each other. Our kids grew up with her kids so saw her at all the school activities. Such a happy person. She will be missed.
My sympathy to all of Patty’s family. Patty helped to host my bridal shower over 31 years ago as part of a friend group of my mother-in-law. When she worked at Eagles she helped me with deli trays to deliver to work customers and we often visited at baseball games of her grandson Ben and our son Kyle. She always said the boys were “shirt-tail” relatives. Patty always greeted me with a smile when we would run into each other and we would take a few minutes to catch up.
