Patti & I both started working at Williams in 1972. We worked together,off & on, from that year forward. We were professional friends and confidants. She was a gentle caring soul and a very dear friend.I am so very saddened for our loss but thankfully blessed by her friendship.Gary Jones
I remember sweet Patti from OSU. Such a great person; what a loss…Thoughts and prayers for her friends and family.Dianne Everett
You don't have to know a person long to recognize how very special they are. I met Patti only last year through our work together at Gilcrease, but quickly saw what a kind, gentle soul she was. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. Her Gilcrease family will miss her terribly.
Patti was kind, thoughtful and generous. I will dearly miss my swimming pool and gardening pal. She gifted my backyard birds with a seed mix she knew they would devour. She added fun to lazy summer days in the pool. I met Patti at Williams through our mutual Treasury jobs and feel truly blessed that we became friends. My prayers for peace and healing to all who loved her.
As Patti's sister-in-law, I've known her almost all of my life. She was one of a kind for sure. She was the epitome of kindness, grace, class, and generosity. Beautiful inside and out. Always proper, always thinking of others, very fun-loving and truly funny! She lit up every room she entered. My family has lost the best one of us. Our hearts are broken right in two.
My first day at Williams I worked in Treasury, still there today which is 25 years later. Patti came around the corner with a big smile on her face, and introduced herself to me. She told me how happy they were to have me working in their department. I went on to work for Patti for over 20 years, when she retired. I felt like I had lost one of my best friends, which I had. Patti and I met occasionally for lunch to "catch up"… I was so shocked and saddened to hear of her death. Patti, if you're listening, I love you and will miss you the rest of my life… and will remember you with a smile.
I was working for Patti when I was pregnant with my son. During that time my husband traveled a lot for his job. One day I came in to the office and I had really started showing like overnight. Patti was so surprised that she took a picture of me to fax to my husband so he would recognize me when he saw me a few weeks later. This was the time before cell phones and texting. This always made me smile to think of.
I'm so heartbroken to hear of your passing, Patti. You were a ray of sunshine whenever you walked in the room. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to get to know you both professionally and personally. You were an amazing and dedicated community volunteer! I so appreciated your concern and empathy for colleagues, community members and friends. Truly a class act and we will miss you dearly Patti.Kim Nave
Patti and I became friends when she began volunteering at Gilcrease Museum in 2013. Patti was so very special to her Gillie classmates and to those with whom she worked. She was very devoted to the Museum and being a part of the life of the Museum. I worked most closely with her in the Development Office and I feel honored to consider her a special friend. She was such a ray of light, always interested in what was going on with her Gillie friends. My deepest sympathy to you, Frank, and to Patti's family. We, her Gillie friends, are heartbroken by our loss of our dear Patti.Judy Baggett
I was inspired to deeper community commitment by Patti's passion for lifting up and encouraging women to reach for their potential. She was such a strong supporter of the YWCA and so encouraging to those around her. Patti appreciated the beauty and strength of the Tulsa Ballet and cheered the dancers on at Guthrie Green recently. I'm grateful I knew Patti Kastl and will never forget her.
