Patty was born on Oct. 10, 1954, in Detroit Lakes, Minn., to Bernard McCann and Jeanne Pfeiffer McCann - and was the youngest of seven children. She spent her formative years in Detroit Lakes, graduating from nearby Audubon High School and moving shortly after to Moorhead, Minn., to raise her family. She later retired to Warsaw, where she spent countless hours beating her big sisters in Scrabble.
Patty was a daycare provider for more than 34 years, with an unparalleled love for children and unwavering dedication to their care. She was incredibly creative, expressing herself in a variety of crafts and projects. And she loved her family - almost as much as she loved the Green Bay Packers. (Almost). She had a true zest for life. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and she enjoyed time with dear friends and family above all else.
Patty is survived by her best friend and significant other, Larry Fossum with whom she spent more than 27 loving years, and their blended family including children: Bridget (Andrew) Charon, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Cody (Mara Stemm) Weigel, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Brody Hanson, of Moorhead, Minn.; Joshua (Lizzy) Fossum, of Milford; and Heather (Aaron) Kolschefsky, of Drake, N.D. Also surviving are her brother Jerry (Bernice) McCann, of Audubon, Minn.; and three sisters: Karen (Terry) Roberts, of Warsaw; Nancy Guile, of Leesburg; and Marty Mattson, of Michigan City; as well as eight spirited grandchildren.
She was preceded in passing by her parents; sister, Bernie Atrev; and brother, Steve McCann.
Patty was a lover of animals, often taking in strays on a temporary basis (and by temporary, we mean permanently) and spoiling them endlessly.
