Call Eric: (857) 322-2854 After receiving her master's degree from NYU in 1978, Patty began her professional career in New York City as a CPA with Peat Marwick Mitchell, where she specialized in expatriate taxation. In 1984, she left the firm and established a sole practice serving individuals in the Bay Area. Her work reflected the strong academic foundation and professional discipline that marked her life from an early age. Patty was the mother of two daughters, Gabby and Sofie, both of whom live in Southern California. Sofie and Gabby spent their early years in the Bay Area and attended Trinity School in Menlo Park. They later attended middle school in Rancho Santa Fe, California, and continued their education at Torrey Pines and Concord Academy in Los Angeles. Gabby graduated from Syracuse University, and Sofie attended Mills College in Oakland. A central part of Patty's life was the support she gave to her daughters. She was an avid supporter of their equestrian activities and could often be found cheering them on at local and national competitions. She loved her daughters passionately, and that devotion was a defining part of her life. Patty also maintained a lifelong love of France and French culture. A self-described Francophile, she returned to France many times over the years to visit and live with her adopted family, Josette and Gile Maillet. That connection grew from her college studies in French literature and remained an enduring thread throughout her life. She also had two sisters, Jeannie and Nancy, both of whom died before her. Her brother, John, survives her and works for Citgo in Texas.
