Susan,
I’m sorry for your family’s loss of your mother. Thinking of you. ❤️
To the entire Winch Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We all loved visiting with Patty at all of the Greenwich sporting events. She was one of a kind and had so much love for not only her family but everyone she encountered. Patty always put everyone else before herself. She was not only supportive of her grandchildren playing sports, but everyone involved. We will cherish all the memories we had with her. You are all in our thoughts as prayers!

Pat (affectionately known as “Pooh” on her badge) was a dedicated, skilled, leader on the woven electrode catheter line at CR Bard for MANY years. I was her engineer. Seeing her years later as she volunteered at Glens Falls Hospital always brought a smile and good recollections. Sorry for your loss.
Our prayers go out to Patty in this her final journey and our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
