Obituary

PATTERSON, Doris Ann (Nephew), March 26, 2022 of the Cattaraugus Territory of the Seneca Nation at the age of 88.  Daughter of the late Fleta Nephew Twoguns, sister to the late Arthur Nephew. Loving wife of the late Frank Patterson Jr., mother of, Scott (Sharon) Patterson, Tracy (Trish) Patterson and Holly (Ross) John Sr. and the late Bradley Patterson.  Grandmother to Jerrel, Ross, Frank, Jay & beloved granddaughters Markie John and Danielle Gould.  Great grandmother of 9.  Friends may call Sunday from 7-9 PM and Monday from 2-4 and 7-9 PM at the Wentland Funeral Home 10634 Main St. (Rt 62) North Collins, NY where funeral services will be held Tuesday at 10 AM. Doris Ann's career spanned Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital, JN Adam Psychiatric Facility & early retirement in 1980 from Gowanda Psychiatric Center.  She was a lifelong member of the (formally known as) Cattaraugus Indian Reservation VFD.  She served in numerous capacities, but the one she's most proud of was her time as an EMT.  Through her volunteerism she touched numerous lives in times of chaos & celebration, both on and off Territory.  She was credited with saving a man's life in the parking lot following a Buffalo Bills game using her skills as an EMT.  Doris Ann and Frank, were counted amongst the founding members of the Seneca Sachems Little Loop Football.  She was also a volunteer for Meals on Wheels for many, many years.  Their demonstration of community volunteerism was a blessing & example to our community.
