I am so sad to hear about Patti. She is with our mom now. I know they had some very special memories. ❤️😥
Please accept our sympathies. We will always have fond memories of our time with her. May God comfort you at this time .
Stacey, so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she came into Barton Meats to shop. She can now be reunited with your dad. Together they made such a nice couple and will both be remembered with fondness.
We are so sorry to hear of Patti’s passing. We may not have seen her often, but the stories we heard growing up made our mom’s days just light up and smile. You Mom was always very kind when we did visit. Keep all of them in your hearts.

Condolences to the family, especially Vicky, Kal, and Stacey. We knew Jim and Patti well, as Jim was my cousin, and I knew Patti in high school. We even hosted them when they visited us in Vienna, Austria while we lived there. We walked all around the city with them!
So sorry for Patti’s immediate family and for all of the rest of her large extended family. In my mind there are so many memories of the entire Butt’s relatives and Carrington, North Dakota. Patti embodied the best of what people could be. She always had time for others and genuinely cared about them (as did Jimmy). Patti was a gem indeed who will be very missed.
I so much wish we could come but we are not able to do so. sending love and prayers.
I have been so blessed by your mom’s connecting with the on- line worship.
She is such a precious, wonderful, person
Please remember she IS still living– just with Jesus and her family in heaven.
Always enjoyed visiting with Patti. God Bless her memory.
Stacey & Family, So sorry to hear about your mom. She was always so friendly. May she Rest In Peace,
Steve & Jane Metzger
I have so many wonderful memories of Jimmy and Patti from my growing up years. And even from Wisconsin we knew how much fun they were having. She loved her family and friends.
To Family and friends of Patti.
So sorry to hear of your loss. She will be missed.
May the Lord Jesus be your comfort, council and peace.
To Patti’s family, we are very saddened to hear of your loss. On our last visit to North Dakota in 2021, we spent a wonderful afternoon with Patti in her home. It was wonderful to reconnect and hear family stories. She was so gracious, kind, and welcoming, and as is so traditional in North Dakota, we couldn’t leave without at least a little something to eat. The brownies she shared were wonderfully yummy.
We feel blessed that we were able to see her on that visit.
Our prayers are with you as you celebrate her life.
Blessings,
Tom and Nancy Morlock
Our sincere condolences to you all and your family. Patty was a wonderful person and so fun to be around. She will be missed.
I just found out about Patti’s passing . Its so hard to see the natural progression of life into death. Patti was one of the people who I remember as always being kind when I was a child . I was a classmate of Stacey’s in elementary school and although many years have passed I do remember Patti and Jimmy with fondness.
The loss of a mother is hard, I’m sending my heart felt condolences. In Christs love.
Sorry to hear of Patti’s passing.
She was a great woman, mother and friend for many and will be missed by many also.
Jimmy and Patti made a great pair and you couldn’t ask for nicer people.
May our dear Lord bless her, Jimmy, and their families and friends!
They are together once again.
