They left for one year in 1972 going to Vermillion and then moved back to Mission. Patti stayed home for several years to raise her family which included two sons and four daughters. She also cared for many other children during those years and later took classes at Sinte Gleska University where she received a degree in business with an accounting emphasis. She went to work part-time in 1982 as a bookkeeper for Todd County Commissioners, then in 1983 took a full-time position as finance officer at Sinte Gleska University.
