Memorial services will be held on Thursday, June 17 at 2:30pm at The Church of the Resurrection, Wesley Chapel, 13720 Roe Ave., Leawood, Ks. Patty was born on St Patrick's Day 1926 to Frank and Marie Piffer, their only child. They lived in Indianola, Iowa for her first 8 years, then moved to Kansas City, Mo. She graduated from Paseo High School, and in 1948 from Kansas State University with a degree in medical technology. She married her grade school friend (Dr Robert M.

She is survived by son Dr David Mathews MD (wife Cindi), and granddaughters Kim (Tony Erisman) and Lindsay Mathews, and great-grandson Matthew Dean Erisman.
