They referred to it as “God’s Country.” Patty worked for the South Wasco County School District until retirement. She was everyone’s favorite lunch lady. She loved all the kids and was able to watch her kids and grandkids go through her lunch line.
Anytime a person went to the Puckett house, they were greeted with a smile and an “Are you hungry?” the minute they walked in the door. Patty loved her family, friends, poodles, shopping trips to The Dalles, Ore., and her community. She was known to be a jokester, she loved getting a good laugh out of people.
