Patty was a loved and respected fixture in the North Rockland community, serving in various roles supporting St. Gregory Barbarigo Parish, including Home School Association, CYO, and Cornerstone to name a few.  Professionally Patty enjoyed a stellar 43 year nursing career, including staff roles at Yale New Haven and Montefiore which was followed by 30 years at Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw.  Patty rose through the ranks at Helen Hayes to become an executive leader, serving in roles such as Associate Director of Nursing, Staff Development Coordinator and eventually ascending to Chief Nursing Officer.  Patty’s commitment to Helen Hayes and to her vocation as a nurse executive was always evident as she insisted on performing all of the roles at the highest possible level.
