My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wolford and Smith families. We were classmates at WHS class of 1977.
I knew Patti when she worked for me at MGH. She was a kind and loving person whose children were Praying for you in your time of loss.
I meant to say her children were the most important things in her life.
Shirley & Bob, We were so sorry to read of the passing of your sister. May your memories provide you a measure of comfort. Our prayers are with you all as we ask God to wrap His loving arms around you. Blessings to all.
I worked with Patti for 10 years or so, while I worked at RRDonnelley-Willard. she was always an earnest person, a hard worker, a joy as an employee. For the last 8 years, I have continued to feel connected. On every Benefits Web Call, Patti was always the first or second person with a question, clarification or comment to help the rest of the team.
My thoughts and prayers are extended to her children and her husband and her grand children, who were always first and foremost in her heart. She will be missed by many.
I am saddened to hear of Patty’s passing. I haven’t seen many of your family in years, but remember good times as neighbors and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your sorrow.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Even though Patti and I never met face-to-face, I had the honor of working with Patti for the past 19 years at RR Donnelley. She was very passionate about her work and family. Patti will truly be missed by all. Just can’t find the words to express my grief.
Ken and Family, i don’t personally know the family, i only knew Patti. My husband worked at RRD, Timothy Seibert, passed in december of 2001, i can remember Tim speaking highly of Patti. She was so kind to him. I’m so sorry for the loss of such a nice woman, i remember going in and talking to Patti after Tim had passed. Find peace and comfort in knowing what nice things Patti did for people. Traci Seibert

so sorry and sad to here about Patti passing my thoughts and prayers go out to Ken my brothers jason and josh and to all the family
So sorry for the loss of your loved one. As a RRD employee, we are also shocked. She was very helpful to us. If you went in with an attitude, you got hers back at you but if you were decent, so was she. One always hears the good things about people after they’re gone. I hope she knew that she was appreciated. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this very difficult time.
Donna, so sorry to hear of your sister’s passing. Prayers for you and your family.

I am so sorry for all of your family loss. I met Patti through my best friend Janet Straw who has also passed. We spent so many evenings at Sue Connells house just talking and playing cards.
Patty was a wonderful friend and nurse!

Patti was such a warm and friendly gal. She was a great influence on “our” grandchildren, Jaylyn Wolford and her siblings Kenyon and Maryonna. She treated them all as her own, which is indicative of the type of woman she was!! She will be missed at ballgames and family gatherings as she was a bright and warm presence. Our family extends deepest sympathy to Patti’s family.
I’ve known Patty for years…I knew her from R.R. Donnelley. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May God comfort you in the days ahead.
Patti and I met/became best friends/roommates through nursing school, worked together at MedCentral for awhile. We were in each other’s weddings…..so many great times together.
I am so shocked and sad to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to Ken, her children, grandchildren, and entire family.
It’s hard to believe we’ve been friends and family for 38 years and now you’re gone. It’s been said, we live on through our children, so we’re never gone completely. You will be missed.
We are so very sorry to hear of Patty’s passing. I worked with Patty for a few years in nursing at R.R. Donnelley and my husband knew Patty well after working there for many years. Peace and comfort for her family and eternal rest for her.
