Born on November 7, 1941, in Geneseo, IL, to Harold and Margaret (Henry) Ryan, Patty led a fulfilling life marked by love, family, and service. Patty graduated from Geneseo High School in 1959 and soon after married Paul Penrod Sundeen in April 1960. The couple was blessed with four daughters: Pamela, Paula, Peggy, and Penny. They shared a beautiful life together until Paul's passing in 1999. Patty found love again and married her high school classmate, Robert Stottler, in 2007, embracing a new chapter filled with joy and companionship.

Professionally, Patty was a dedicated employee at Northside Rexall Drug Store, where she worked until her retirement. Known for her vibrant personality and impeccable style, Patty earned the nickname "Classy Lassy." She never missed an opportunity to accessorize with her favorite earrings and lipstick, bringing a touch of elegance wherever she went.

Patty's passion for the outdoors was evident in her love for camping and fishing. She cherished these moments, especially when shared with her family. Patty also enjoyed shopping and had a special affinity for jewelry, which was more than just adornment; it was a reflection of her spirited character.
