Born February 12, 1929, in Buffalo, NY, to William and Ruth Marks, Patti grew up in Columbus, OH. She moved to Kansas City when she was a teenager and lived in Raymore at the time of her passing. She attended Graceland College in Lamoni, IA, where she received her Associate in Arts degree in 1949. Later in life, she went back to college and received her Bachelor of Arts in 1980, and Master of Arts in Speech Communication in 1983, from CMSU. Patti worked as a secretary, bookkeeper and production artist at several Kansas City companies, but found her most rewarding job was being a teacher at Dickinson and Wright Business Schools in Overland Park from 1987, until her retirement in 2002. She took great pride in her students and her accomplishments. Patti passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with fibrosis on July 1, 2005.
