Patti was born in Flagstaff on Sept. 28, 1967 to her thrilled parents Larry and Billie Draper. She lived in Flagstaff, Tucson and Phoenix before her family settled in Lake Havasu City. Patti was a graduate of Lake Havasu High School and the University of Phoenix. She chose to live and work in Phoenix as a accountant; following in her father's footsteps. The majority of her career was in the mining field, which she truly enjoyed. Patti was preceded in death by her father, Larry; grandparents, Elwin and Rose Draper and Joe and Bly Halloran. At the time of her death, her family was with her; mother, Billie; sister, Barbi (Shawn); sister, Cathi (Xavier) and ‘her boys’, nephews Alex, Cody, Zack and James. She also leaves behind many loving and caring friends. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations to Hospice Compassus 1000 N. Humphreys Street, Ste. 220 Flagstaff, AZ 86001 for all the love, care and support they gave Patti and us all. There will be a celebration of Patti's life on Dec. 29 in Anthem.
