On August 3, 1974 she married her high school sweetheart and two-time prom date, Dan Krebehenne in the First United Methodist Church. From cheering him on during high school basketball games to taking their bucket list trip to Alaska and their family cruise, they were inseparable soul mates, always holding hands.
Patti was a 1973 graduate of the North Union High School, the school was very important in her life, she had worked at the elementary as the head cook and was an active supporter of all her family’s activities, Patti was a true “Wildcat”.
Patti was an active and dedicated member of the Richwood First United Methodist Church. One of her favorite times at the church was when she served as youth group leader when her kids were younger.
She belonged to the Richwood Matinee Club, the Mohecan Saddle Club, Mother’s Club and had formerly been involved with the North Union Softball, Springenfest and any event her family was into. Camping was always a special time for Patti.
She was known for her baking; her cinnamon rolls were a specialty. Patti loved her horses, Fliver and Cody. She also had a special place in her heart for her dogs.
Patti had worked for the Ohio Wesleyan University for over 15 years. She also had worked for the Richwood Bank, helping with the start of the branch in Delaware as the Branch Manager.
