Born August 1, 1932 in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, Patty traveled a lot with her husband’s Air Force duties, and no matter where she lived, Patty could always make things look their best. She made it a point to make things better. Throughout her life, Patty shared her gifts and talents in roles of church secretary, pianist and organist, soloist and choir director, Girls in Action leader, Women’s Missionary Union as State President and as an International Delegate, Sunday School teacher, and Ladies ministry speaker. She also served her communities in the Hospital Auxiliary and as a Girl Scout leader. She was a retired Executive Assistant to the Administrator of Phoenix Baptist Hospital. Patty is preceded in death by her beloved husband “Billy” William Kiehl, daughter Jennifer Kiehl, and both her parents who were also residents of Camp Verde, John E and Beulah Heffelfinger.
