Patti was born on June 28, 1957 in Flint, Michigan. She graduated from Southwestern High School. She was employed with Delphi for over 25 years before retiring in 2007. Early in her retirement she traveled to Florida to spend time with her mother and family. However, after experiencing warmer weather and sunshine she planted her roots in Daytona, FL and lived there the next 11 years. Those who knew her best would say she had a soft spot in her heart for all of God's critters. She made it her own life's mission to feed any animal she laid her eyes on. She even had wildlife that routinely would make their rounds at her home for regularly feeding times. Patti was a strong-willed woman who learned to enjoy the comforts of home; feeding critters, listening to music and watching her stories. Her family will miss her dearly for her big heart which loved so deeply.

She is survived by her loving son, Jason (Amber) Andres; grandchildren, Taylor Danks & Keaten Franklin; great-grandson, Niko Caldwell; Siblings Richard (Marla) Andres & David Andres; nieces, Arriana Andres & Tessa Andres and nephew, Seth Andres.

Pattie was preceded in death by, her mom, Jean Andres; grandmother, Grace TerAchter; and sister, Jeri Lynne.
