She was born March 21, 1961 in Three Rivers, the daughter of Lawrence and Marion (Snow) Slaughter, and graduated from Constantine High School with the Class of 1979.
Patty enjoyed cooking and baking, skills she initially honed at Meek’s Mill Café perfecting their homemade bread. After, she worked various jobs in different fields including home healthcare, manufacturing, and retail.

She could also be found floating in the water on inflatables she got on clearance (another of her specialties) or riding around on a golf cart.
