Patti was an animal lover and rescued so many cats and dogs throughout her life time. She would always stop and help turtles cross the road safely. She loved building puzzles and binge watching her dragon shows. Patti enjoyed her plants and keeping her yard beautiful. She was a retired school teacher, but every talk she had with us was a lesson, always was passing on her knowledge which we will always be grateful for.

Thank you to family and friends who kept checking on her throughout this time and the medical staff and doctors of Terrebonne General.

In lieu of flowers please consider donations to Terrebonne Parish Animal Shelter.

Funeral arrangements to be announced at a later date.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Patti Saam.
