Our beloved wife, mom, daughter, sister and auntie Patti went home to the Lord Monday, Jan. 6, 2014. Patti was born in February 1969 in Milwaukee, Wis., to Bill and the late Kathy, the third of four daughters. She lived in Milwaukee and Brunswick, Ohio, until she moved with her dad and sisters to Santa Paula, Calif., in 1979. She moved to San Luis Obispo in 1987 and married Christopher Ybarra in 1991. They raised their daughters in San Luis and Bakersfield, Calif. In 2008, Patti married Allen Patchett and blended their families of five daughters. Patti attended elementary schools in Milwaukee, Brunswick and Santa Paula, Calif. She graduated from St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura, Calif., in 1987, and continued her education at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo to pursue her career in firefighting and paramedics. She was a student at the PCF Academy and firefighter in San Luis Obispo County, and a paramedic for AMR in Santa Barbara County. Patti's true calling was to be a paramedic. She loved nothing more than helping others in their time of need. Unfortunately, an injury during a rescue call ended her paramedic career. She continued her ministry of serving others by waitressing at the San Luis Obispo Country Club. Patti loved music, as we all saw through the dancing and heard through the radio blasting. She loved walking her dogs on the beach, hiking through San Luis' mountain trails and hanging out with her family and friends. We all loved it when she made dozens of tacos! Patti absolutely adored and cherished her family and friends. Patti is survived by her husband, Allen Patchett; parents, Bill and Carolyn Corrao; and daughters Jessica (Nick), Sabina (Colton), Krissy, Mikayla (Brandon) and Maddie. She is also survived by the father of her daughters, Christopher Ybarra; sisters Teresa (Ben), Caryn (Ron) and Sandra (Philip); nephew. Joey; nieces Ashley, Ericka, Faye, and Olive; in-laws Hap and Roberta Patchett; brother-in-law Dan (Renae); and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her mom, Kathy (nee Germanson); and grandparents. A celebration of Patti's life will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 13, 2014, at Mountainbrook Community Church, 1775 Calle Joaquin in San Luis Obipso. The Patti Patchett Memorial Fund has been generously created for Patti's daughters at any Rabobank www.rabobankamerica.com. Correspondence to her daughters can be sent to Mountainbrook Church at the above address. -
