Patty was a great Astrologer, a massage therapist, an alternative healer, a career woman, and a dear friend.  Through her many travels, Patty lived in Michigan, Colorado, and several other states, before making California her permanent home.  Driven to succeed, Patty perfected every task she undertook.  She was a very gifted and innovative Astrologer.  She worked with Neil Michelsen for many years at Astro Computing Services.

 

Patty served as a manager, as well as the designer of the first colored natal charts to be mass produced.  In private practice, she successfully mentored other growing Astrologers, while serving a loyal clientele both locally as well as throughout the world.  There are countless "Patty recordings" still in existence, for those of us who were fortunate enough to tape one of Patty's consultations -- much of the information still being something we can reflect on today. 

Filled with sensible interpretation and down to Earth guidance, Patty used her Astrological intuition and knowledge to help all who had the pleasure of her presence.  This was exhibited every month for years and years, in the unique "Cosmic Postcard" that faithfully appeared in many mailboxes monthly.  Patty filled the postcard with monthly transit information, peppered with the sharp wit she was known for.  In addition to authoring the cosmic postcard, Patty also originated the Cosmic ID Card.  Many purses and wallets still hold the colorful, hand-drawn rendering today.  The Cosmic ID was no bigger than a credit card -- and was meticulously hand drawn, and colored for your own personal natal chart. 

Throughout all her hard work and honest dedication, Patty still kept time for her many friends.  Exhibited by her generous giving, and innate nurturing streak, Patty could always be counted on to provide a hot meal, or a place to stay when hard times befell folks close to her.  Patty loved animals of all kinds, but the special place in her heart was filled by her two Siamese cats, Arthur and Nadine.  They remained at Patty's side until she drew her last breath.

First two picts are of her beloved kiddies...big one is Arthur, little one is Nadine.  Third pict is a "group shot" taken by Neil Michelsen.  I want to take a guess at the year, and put it at 1989...Patty is on the bottom left, I am on the bottom right.  Last picture is of Arthur as a baby -- with me.  I wanna' say '88 or '89...not sure.

 

thank you so very much,
