Patty was born on September 20, 1964 to Fred C. De La O and Margaret A. Maynes. Patty was a devout Catholic whose love of God grew while in the convent. She was a member of the Apostolado group and the Guadalupanas at St. Ann and taught catechism and RCIA classes at St. Ann and Holy Family Church. As a foster parent for 10 years she cared for hundreds of children in need. Patty graduated with a degree in Social Work that allowed her love for children to continue. She worked for Deming Public schools for over 15 years and loved all the people she worked with. She loved wrestling, crossword puzzles and watching Jeopardy.
