PATRICIA JAMES Cherished daughter, sister, aunt and friend, died peacefully on May 29, 2012 after a courageous four year fight with cancer. Patti was born on August 9, 1944 in Tucson, Arizona (a birthdate she shared with her beloved father) and spent her early childhood years on the family farm in Muleshoe, Texas. The family moved to Albuquerque in 1950. Patti graduated from Sandia High School and attended UNM before moving to Southern California where she had a successful career in human resources. She returned to Albuquerque in 2006 to be close to her family. Patti is survived by her mate, Jack Klassy; her family: mother, Minnie Glasscock of Albuquerque; her brother, Gary Glasscock and his wife, Barbara of Renton, Washington; her sisters, Jeanne Hertz of Santa Fe, NM and Janelle Stamper of Albuquerque; one niece, Ashley Stamper of Albuquerque and Ashely's son, Christopher James Johnson II, Patti's beloved great nephew. Patti is also survived by one aunt and an extended group of cousins. She was preceded in death by her father, Woodrow W. Glasscock; her best friend for 50 years, Sally Battershell Swanson, and her brother-in-law, Verne H. Stamper III. Patti was the type of person who never met a stranger. She will be remembered for her outgoing personality, her humor, and her kindness and generosity to all of her many friends and family. She will be dearly missed by all of us who love her. Patti's family wishes to thank that special group of girlfriends, most specifically, Nancy Shannon, whose continued friendship and support meant so very much to Patti. Services will be held on the patio at Manzano Del Sol, 5201 Roma Ave. NE, 87108 at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Patti will be laid to rest at Rosario Cemetery in Santa Fe. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Stand Up To Cancer Society, www.standup2cancer.org, or a favorite cancer charity.
