  Patti was like a second cousin to me,you as well Pam❤️ my deepest condolences to all of you! I haven't seen her since high school as paths in life takes us elsewhere. But that doesn't mean you forget the past. Patti was so fun loving, beautiful & just had so much much energy for life! Like I shared before at your sleepover & your pet raccoon getting into my sleeping bag, & Patti was able to get it out as I was frantic & she was laughing! Your all very special to me & just so grateful that we shared our youth together! Much love to your beautiful Mom & Dad & your brother Tommy! And if course her daughter & grandchild, may she rest in peace ♥️

  Dear Patti. She lived across the hall from me in Milwaukee for many years. We were friends...buddies. We had a great floor. Patti was the glue. So glad to have met Kristin and Craig. She was a great Mom and a great partner. One of a kind. Very touching service. Bless you.

  Patti may have left us to soon, but her memories will live on in our hearts forever. In time the memories will turn the tears into smiles; smiles as big as her smile was. I had the opportunity to work with Patti, in the past, at GEHC. Her enthusiasm, courage & passion was infectious. Sending heartfelt sympathy, prayers, and peace of heart to the family in the days ahead. May God rest her soul.

  Patti, we encouraged, empowered and supported each other in moments of strength and moments of doubt and I am forever grateful. I will remember our time together fondly... we had fun, learned and laughed along the way. Thanks for the friendship and the fun. Cheers to you and peace be with you.

  Patti (Mom), you impacted my life more than you could have ever known. After losing my own mom, you loved me like your own and truly helped fill that void in my life. Some of my very best memories involve you. I will never forget your contagious laugh, your wonderful sense of humor, and your true love for life. I love you and will always cherish my memories with you. -Christina Swain

  Patti, your love of life, your smile and your energy were contagious. I only had the honor of working with you for only a short time, but you were such a positive and inspiring leader and I always enjoyed our time together. I so appreciated your candor on being a working mom, the love you expressed for your family, daughter, and grandchildren, and what a caring and deeply loving person you were. Your bright energy poured out from everything you did and it was impressive. My deepest condolences to your family and friends...who have lost a great light. I will always remember you and thanks for making such a lasting impact on those around you. A rare person indeed! - Love, Ali Gorsuch

  Kent and I were blessed in having the opportunity to spend time with Patti a couple of years ago when we were exploring North Carolina. She opened her home to us and we so enjoyed her graciousness and generosity, her exuberance for life and her laughter. When we returned less than a year later to make NC our forever home there was Patti still exuding a belief in the goodness of life and an amazing determination despite the new challenge she was facing. Thank you dear Patti for the example and gift of your spirit. - Carol and Kent Nightingale

  Patti, I was so blessed to work for you and on your team. You were an inspiration to me as I looked to you as a role model in my career and in my life. I remember the time that you visited my young family in Indianpolis and had dinner. After the night was through, both my kids, Haven and Nolan were calling you aunt Patti. I will truly miss you! With Love, Chris Plummer

  I am so grateful for what turned out to be our last conversation just days before you passed. I told you I loved you. I will always love you. You were so optimistic about getting home and setting short term goals. I was looking forward to seeing you in May. No doubt we would have laughed hard and talked for hours. Our time together at GE was formative for me. I hope you know how much you gave to me in developing my professional and personal life. Your optimism was contagious. You fought for what was right. I will do everything I can to carry on your legacy. I miss you. Love, Lesley

  Patti's energy and passion for life were infectious. I had the privilege to work with Patti for many years first at GE Healthcare as a colleague and later as a customer. I am deeply saddened that the bright light she brought to many of us was blown out far too soon, but am hopeful that the leadership she always exhibited to mentor and develop others will live on. I had checked in with her a few weeks before she passed away, and even then she was positive and hopeful on the next journey with immunotherapy. My thoughts and prayers are with Kristen, Craig, and the entire Brenton family!

  To Patti's family I am very saddened to hear this news. I loved working with Patti for many years at Datex-Ohmeda. She always had a great way of ignoring politics and cutting across boundaries to get things done. She was a blast to travel with in our trips to Finland. I will miss her. Rick Brandl

  I worked with Patti many years at GE and she was always such a positive person to talk to about anything. I had the pleasure of knowing her as a friend, not just a GE employee. My heart breaks right now, my sympathy goes to all of her family and friends. She was a great person and will look for her when my time is up to share another laugh with her. Gregg Melby

  Patti and I were next door neighbors in Milwaukee. During that time we became very close friends. We had each others back. Together we spent many Friday nights having dinner (margaritas @Corazon)and Saturday mornings, doing yoga(coffee @Colectivo). My favorite times were at the pool. There, we would spend endless hours sipping wine and chatting. During that time I learned what an inspiring and kind person Patti was. Patti you will be missed by many. I love you!

  Patricia's time at GE overlapped mine for over 20 years. Most of the time we were peers/ co-workers. For my last few years at GE I had the pleasure of managing Patricia. It was a great relationship that was both on a business and personal level. Even when Patricia first became ill she powered through it, refusing to go on leave. You would never have known she wasn't feeling well. Positive, happy, talented, family centered all describe her. Patricia, sleep well until we meet again. You will be missed.

  My sincere condolences to Patti's family and loved ones. I had the honor of working for Patti for a few years here at GE. She truly was a light, always so positive, kind and caring. She was a female leader to look up to and emulate! As a manager and co-worker, Patti was invested in the personal friendships she cultivated with everyone she worked with. She was the boss who inspired you to do your best and cheered you on every step of the way. Our GE team was blessed to have her and will miss her dearly. My prayers are with her family, as you celebrate the life of this talented, vibrant woman.

  A celebration of life is most appropriate when reflecting on the impact of Patricia Brenton. Though my heart is deeply saddend by the news, your spirit, your heart, your voice of reasoning will be forever etched in the many lives you impacted at GE- including mine. So many days you stood up for what was right, but not always popular. You were my true partner. Thank you and job well done. Rest now. Forever missed & forever loved!

  Just last week we talked. You told me how you were back in the hospital. How you were going to fight this. How when you were out, we were going to get together at the beach, dip our toes in the water and drink fruity cocktails. That was so you, my friend. The warm, optimistic, planter of dreams that made us all feel good. I'm so grateful when we ended that conversation we told each other how much we cared for one another. Yet still what I wouldn't give for one more conversation. You will be so missed, Patti. You brought light and happiness to so many. I'm hoping that you're now dipping your toes in warm water and sipping on a delicious cocktail. XO

  Patti, I had the good fortune to work with you for many years at GE Healthcare. You were the consummate professional, with a deep understanding of what was important to our customers and our business. And you were unfailingly positive and optimistic, which rubbed off on everyone. I will miss all of that. Rest in Peace. My thoughts and prayers to Patti's family and friends.

  My deepest condolences to the Brenton family & friends. Patti was the light that lit up every room. I had the privilege of working directly with her over the last ~2 years, and she was one of the most caring, intelligent and driven individuals I have ever met! Once COVID hit, we would chat with wine to catch up and muse about work and life. She was such a treasure and will be deeply, deeply, missed.

  My sincerest condolences for the loss of such a bright light in Patti. I worked with Patti and Patricia (the fun over that was endless) over 20 years across roles but always with joy. Her sunny and bright smile, confident and yet humble nature, always made it a joy and privilege to be able to work with her. She will be greatly missed, but her light shines on.

  Patti (you were always Patti to me and not Patricia and we joked about that a lot,) you will forever be remembered by your warm laugh, bright smile, and your ability to connect with each individual. I have such wonderful memories of us working together at customer accounts, at various GE meetings, work on Women's network activities etc. We shared a lot of laughs over the years, and you will be greatly missed.

  It was 20 years ago when Patti and I worked most closely together, but we had a blast and there was almost always a wonderful smile on her face. She always talked about her daughter as she considered what she might do next and she was very logical about what the sales team would need and what would work for our clients. She always focused on others and brought joy and intelligence to everything she did. I'll miss seeing you every now and then, Patti. Thank you for the fun we shared together - we will ALL miss you! Godspeed to you and your family!

  So many memories: neighborhood kids, school buses, parties. When I talked to Patti just a few years ago, she was wearing what I always remembered her wearing: the same big beautiful smile that always appeared so effortlessly. My deepest sympathy to all those she loved and to the family who commanded our tremendous admiration and respect. Peace.
