In Memory of Patti Colby

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Patti Colby, President of the Farm, Home, & Youth Foundation and long-time 4-H leader. Patti joined the board in 2009 and had been the President since 2019. During her time as a board member, Patti greatly contributed to the success of various events over the years including the annual Fabric Sale; Farm, Home, & Youth Fair; the Lock & Load Sporting Clays Tournament; and the Buckle Series Horse shows, to name just a few. Patti was also a leader for the 4-H Creamery Crafters Sewing Club for years and taught many kids how to sew, and was also involved in other 4-H activities throughout the years including Public Speaking contests.

Patti is pictured with Giuseppe Schiano, former President of Pennsylvania 4-H State Council at Penn State Extension, and long time 4-H member under Patti Colby's leadership.

Patti will be greatly missed.
