    Patty LaMarche and the whole LaMarche family were the best neighbors one could dream of. We chared all the family rites of passages together and many laughs and great times. Patty not only kept an immaculate house but a family of 4+ healthy& good-spirited. We can only hope to keep her dancing spirit and twinkling eyes alive in her honor- being more like Patty! Condolences & a celebration of a life well-lived-wow Notre Dame I never knew!

    Elise, I will always remember the time I spent with your Mom. I have fond memories of dancing and singing along to her favorite tunes. She cherished her family so, frequently, we would also reminisce the good times displayed in the many family photo albums that she had. My prayers are with you and your family.
