Patricia Hayes

 

It is with heavy hearts that the Sheffield Neighborhood Association Board of Directors informs you of the passing of our fellow Board member and dear friend, Patricia Hayes. 

When people heard of Patty’s passing, they shared their thoughts with our group.  We would like to share just a handful of those sentiments with you.

“She was a wonderful woman who worked so hard for the community and the SNA.  She will be dearly missed.  I am so saddened to hear of her passing.  May she rest in peace.”
