Loving Mom of Heather (Christophe) Berg, Brian E.(Lissette) Patchen and Bridgette Barnsley; Sister of Thomas Gawlik; Grandmother of Gia, Dominic and Lucia Patchen.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Bunny married her soulmate and the love of her life, Brain P. Patchen, and together they moved to Miami where she continued working as a United Airlines flight attendant. She worked as a flight attendant for 34 years, calling herself the “Flying Dinosaur.”

Bunny loved her husband and family. She enjoyed flying, horse-back riding, baking, cooking, bowling and needlepoint. She was renowned for her homemade pickles and her famous Rum Cake. She was regarded in the Miami Beach community, where she and her family resided for 25 years. The City of Miami Beach awarded her a Certificate of Appreciation for her services with the Marine Authority, the Noise Abatement Task Force and her continued efforts to help improve the quality of life in Miami Beach. In 2010, Bunny and her husband Brian moved to the town of Miami Lakes. Her humor, her generosity and her spark will be sadly missed by all.
