Blessed with many years, but even with all those years I know they were not enough for those who held Patty so dear to their hearts. To her loved ones I extend my deepest condolences. May God’s promises bring comfort and peace during this difficult time. Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:29

My heart is heavy today. I have always loved Patty and was so thankful for her continual support of Bob before, during and after his illness and passing. She was a wonderful sister to him and a wonderful sister in law to me as well as aunt to my children. Rest in heavenly peace. May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

I first became acquainted with Patty when she was still at home north of Sidney. I would sometimes stay with my sister, Louise Asbeck, who lived across the tracks and walk to Wheeler’s, where Patty would play the accordion and visit with me. Sweet lady.

Mary Kay and I would like to express our sympathy to Judean and family. I was the Historian at Fort Union Trading Post NHS in the early days when Patty first came to the Park to Volunteer. I was so impressed by her energy, excitement, and knowledge that she brought with her. Patty, I swear could find a Arrowhead if it was in the cement in the middle of a BIG parking lot!! She was so exited at that time to be a volunteer for us and this was the time way before the reconstruction of Fort Union and our office was in a small trailer and simple gravel road straight into the Park Headquarters. Well one of the first mornings she came to work, I told her that us Park Rangers always hung the flag up first thing in the morning and we would then step back salute and sing the National Anthem. The Superintendent and I knew that we had a great employee when we saw Patty put the flag up, step back and sing the National Anthem. I was very proud of her when she got her NPS status!! She will be missed, and we are thankful for the friendship of her and Judean.

To JuDean, Kevin, and Shawn. Patty was such a kind, loving and beautiful woman. I remember seeing her at Fort Union. She was very passionate about what she did there and it showed. Anyone who crossed paths with her was always better off than before. She was an excellent neighbor. She will be sadly missed. My sincere condolences.

I never got to meet Patty but she sent me some beautiful agates for my collection. We got to know Kevin and have heard some wonderful stories about his mom from him. Your family is in our thoughts today as you say your goodbyes to this wonderful lady. Cherish the memories.

It is with a heavy heart that I come across this news. I met Patty at Fort Union Trading Post in 1991 as myself, my Father and a few coworkers from Denver came to Fort Union to do the Masonry work inside the Fort on the out lying foundations and the foundations and double sided Fireplaces in the Trading Room.
What a pleasure it was to learn so much from Patty in 32 days, such a wealth of information that she shared every single day especially when the weather was so cold one day, that she invited us downstairs to learn more and watch videos.
Today May 1st. 2023, I write this upon my 1st return to Fort Union Trading Post in 32 years. I thought, I wonder if Miss Patty still resides in the area and googled her name to come across her Obituary.?Ohhhh how Heaven received a Great one. Tomorrow May 2nd 2023, I return to Fort Union and now believe she will also be present in Spirit, though I know her smile will be evident and present.
Tomorrow will be interesting but difficult as I’m the only living Mason to revisit in 32+ years.
The memories will be strong as so many memories were made while restoring Fort Union. Tonight I go through pictures here in Williston Hotel, and even found a note from Patty in a brochure that I hadn’t seen in 32 years from Patty. Yes, Patty, I sure did enjoy reading the brochure. Thank YOU!
To the Sundheim Family, my Prayers are with you.
Miss Patty….Rest In Peace and Thank You!!!
