Patti, as she preferred to be known, was born on July 23rd, 1958, in St. Paul, MN. She was adopted as an infant by Donald and Alvina Spencer, of White Bear Lake, who raised her with love and devotion. She attended Mariner Senior High School, graduating in 1976. She then followed her dream of cosmetology school, graduating in 1979 at 916 Vo-Tech.

Patti married Richard Say and had two children in 1982. She was working at Prudential, raising her children, Rich and Katie, and decided to return to being a hairdresser. Patti met Todd Lowe in 1993 and had their son, Evan in 1995 and with their three children lived as a united family in Rosemount.

life story

Devoted Daughter, Sister, Spouse, Mother, and Maimeo

Growing up Patti's Mom and dad called her “The Irish Princess.” She took so much pride in being Irish and loved everything Irish.

Patti had such incredible faith in God. She used to say - “When you’re hanging off a cliff by your fingernails, you grow new fingernails and keep hanging on, because God will always be there.” She loved music, especially The King (Elvis), sparkles, the color purple, and butter on everything. Patti also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and her daily devotions. Above all else was her love of family.
