Brattleboro: Patricia M. Ratti (Pat), 99, a lifelong resident of town died peacefully early Monday morning, September 14, 2020 in the comfort of her home surrounded by her family following a period of declining health.

She had been employed as a claim adjustor for the Richards Group (formerly Richards, Hoffman & Clay Insurance Agency).

On April 10, 1943 at Saint Michael’s Roman Catholic Church in Brattleboro she was married to Francis “Sass” Ratti who predeceased her on September 19, 2006. First and foremost, Pat was a devoted wife and mother. She treasured every moment she spent with family and friends and she especially cherished her time in Ogunquit with family. Her door was always open and she was never too busy to sit and chat. She enjoyed her home, her gardens, cooking and the time she shared with family. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Pat is survived by her four loving and caring children and their families: Cheryl Hall and Andrea Ratti of Enfield, CT, Pamela (Peter) MacKellar of Aspen, CO and David (Jayne) Ratti of Dover Plains, NY.

Three great grandchildren: Casey and Logan Oliver and Stella Reece, as well as a number of nieces and nephews.
