Patty was born on May 21, 1959 in Sioux City to Emmett and Lucile (Sterling) White.  She attended West High School, but got her diploma through the ILC from North High without ever stepping foot through the school.  She then went on to manage a bread store for Continental Baking for 8 years.  In 1974, she met and started seeing Tim Wells.  They married in 1977 and were married for 23 years.  Later in life, Patty went back to school to become a travel agent in Omaha, NE and worked in the field for 6 years before the September 11^th incidents pushed things around in the travel world.  She left the travel business and went through a bout with breast cancer and came through that well.  After the treatment, she went back to work and started with a couple places that did not work out, before getting a job with Tyson Foods.  She worked on the shipping dock 7 days a week.  She picked up a part time job with Hard Rock Casino when it opened in town.  Patty loved music and winning things in the radio.

Left to cherish her memory are the greatest joys of her life: her beloved daughters, Ashley Wells (Jason Dailey), Sioux City, Lindsey Wells, Sioux City, Courtney (Tony) Bahr, Beresford, SD; and her only son, Jason Wells, Sioux City; grandchildren: Cameron, Cayden, Harper, Jayce, Anthony, Tyler, and her only granddaughter, Ella; beloved sister, Karen (Gary) Lien; nephews: Todd (Lesli) Lien and their daughters, Cary and Suthy and Kirk (Brandie) Lien and their children, Kevin and Braelynn, all of Sioux City, and Christopher (Jennifer Meierhenry) Storms, of Omaha.

She is proceeded in death by her parents and sister, Judy Storms.
