Patricia Ann (Patti) Baity, age 76, of Franklin, TN passed away at her residence surrounded by her family. Patti was born on March 15, 1942 in East McKeesport, PA. She is predeceased by her father, Donald Radulovich and her mother, Bertha Penkert Radulovich. Patti is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Larry Worth Baity, her sons: Scott King (Nancy) and Mark King both of Nashville, Christopher Baity (Ann) of Mooresville, N.C., and Kenneth Baity (Lisa) of Dothan, AL and six grandchildren: Gracie King, Will King, Jack King (Nashville, TN), Francis King (Little Rock, AR), Andrew Baity (Elizabeth) (Oceanside, CA) and Nicholas Baity (Dothan, AL); one great grandchild: Lula Baity (Oceanside CA), and her sister, Melissa Harmon (Sam) of Virginia Beach, VA. Patti attended East McKeesport High School in Pennsylvania, and Robert Morris Business School. She then moved to California where she worked as an Executive Secretary for the RAND Corporation. Eventually, Patti moved to Richmond VA, where she met and married Larry in 1975. Patti and Larry moved to Little Rock, AR where they raised their sons. Patti worked as an account executive for Locators, and was devoted wife and mother. In 1992, Larry’s job required a move to Nashville, TN where her son Scott lived, and they remained in Nashville until Patti’s death. Patti worked as the Office Manager for the John Lee Company for 17 years before retiring in 2009 to spend as much time as she could with her husband and grandchildren. Above all, Patti loved her family, and most especially her grandchildren. She attended every play, assembly, and sporting event for all of her grandchildren and was completely devoted to her family. She loved Western movies, felt right at home in the saddle of a horse, loved a good laugh, and was fortunate to travel all over the world with her beloved husband. Patti loved the time she spent volunteering, especially at Saddle Up. She was an attentive, loving, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister. The family wishes to specially thank Sabrina Jackson, all of the staff at Senior Helpers, and Willowbrook Hospice their loving care. Services to honor Patti’s life will be held at Mountain Park Cemetery in Wilkesboro, NC at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday July 28, 2018. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in the name of Patti Baity to: Saddle Up! 1549 Old Hillsboro Rd. Franklin, TN 37069; saddleupnashville.org.
