Patty moved to North Devon, England, from London with her parents after World War II where she attended elementary and high school. She later moved to London and worked for a theatrical agency after graduation from secretarial college. Patty moved to California in her early 20s and later worked for VISA where she stayed for over 28 years, starting as an executive secretary and retiring in 2007 as a director of standards. Patty lived life to the fullest extent. She enjoyed riding her horse in the Half Moon Bay hills, she was a avid reader, an artist, traveled the globe, and was a true citizen of the world. Patty loved the pristine countryside of North Devon and returned frequently to her roots in England with her family to enjoy and revisit the wonderful memories of her childhood.
Patty is survived by her daughters, Darcie Fairchild, Kerry Camph and Trudy Elliot, her stepson, Tom Greenhalgh and four grandchildren, Travis Camph, Morgan Camph, Jamie Elliot, and Sophia Elliot.
