In Memory of Patty McNall

A Living Tribute to a Life Well-Lived
We owe it all to our dear friend
It was with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we said farewell to one of our weaving family. Patty passed away after succumbing to injuries incurred in a horse riding accident. Patty was an accomplished weaver and a special member of the Loom Dancer Odysseys team. Patty had an extraordinary life and truly lived it to the fullest. Many of you experienced the true pleasure of spending time with her on our trips. Her warm smile and infectious spirit touched all that knew her and she will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Dedicated to Patty's memory, her husband DeGrey Philliips, Ginger Snip and Cari Sample Malver launched a fiber arts retreat at their yak ranch in Ridgway, Colorado. For five years, Patty's Paradise offered a variety of textile workshops for fiber lovers world wide. Recently Cari moved this endeavor to Santa Fe, New Mexico which was a place Patty loved. Here, at Loom Dancers in Santa Fe, we continue to honor Patty's memory and her amazing life. Patty, we could never have done any of this without you!
