Patty was a fun, interesting, intelligent woman. It was horrible she became ill in grade school and she fought her disease until her untimely death in 1974. I went to grade school with her from 2nd grade on. One extremely cold winter day she and I decided to go ice-skating on the tennis courts at Southeast as they had been flooded with water so people could skate. We didn't last very long because it was cold and windy. Remember how hard the wind blew from the Southeast athletic fields up to 40th? Her house was closer than mine so we fought the elements and made it to her house. Her mom helped us out of our boots and socks. We plunged our feet into a bathtub of hot water until we thawed out and then warmed up further with a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. I miss those days and tthe people we've lost. All we have now are memories. RIP, Patty.
I started at the same grade school too in 1st grade. I lived on High Street until I turned 12. Renna Schoep lived across the street then until we moved up to 42nd street. I got to have a great conversation with Renna when we moved back to Lincoln and visited her early 2020. Then covid happened and didn't get to visit her again. I went to her memorial sometime later and so enjoyed visiting with Renna's sister and some friends from the High Street neighborhood.
When we moved up to 42nd Street Patricia lived a few houses up the street. Patty Campbell, and Sarah Higley lived close by too. I remember many times too where Patricia couldn't play because she wasn't feeling well. None sweeter than Patricia. David McCloud and Bruce McIntyre lived near by too. When my family moved my junior year to 54th and Pioneer blvd it seemd so far away from them all.
Thank-you Susan for bringing up the memories of Patricia which brought up so many memories for me of my early years living behind Southeast. We have lost so many great friends from Southeast but have many great memories we shared with them.
Patty and I met in kindergarten at College View Elementary. We were good friends right up until her death when she decided she didn't want visitors anymore. She and I were in Job's Daughters together and shared many car rides with each other's moms. I will never forget Patty or that family. I think of her so often and the memories are bittersweet, but am so glad she came into my life.

What a lovely thought to share (warming your feet & sharing hot cocao)!
I couldn't help but vividly remember the freezing wind & snow and walking to school no matter the weather.
Thanks for the memory.
RIP Patty
