PictureDirector of Community Worship, Patti Potter Fitchett
Patti Fitchett joined the Bradford UU team in 2022 to help coordinate and lead memorial services, weddings and rites of passage and is available to perform your special ceremony.
A Funeral Service professional since 2001, Patti's Unitarian Universalist faith has helped her become a vibrant, creative officiant. 
A memorial service or celebration of life should truly honor the one who passed away in a very personal and meaningful way. Whether you need a small traditional family prayer service or a larger, more public event, Patti will work with you to honor the life of the person who died with compassion, grace, and love.
Patti holds a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts and an Associates degree in Funeral Service.  She is a member of the Over Our Head Players in downtown Racine and her newspaper column about working with people who have suffered a loss "Grief Blossoms" appeared for many years on the Faith page of the Kenosha News and is popular on Facebook.  Patti loves to sing, drink wine with friends and not leave her house without a very good reason.  She is a lifelong resident of Kenosha and has two grown sons and two "grand-dogs".
​Whether a death has occurred and you have immediate need of help, or if you would like to sit down and talk about what you might want in the future, Patti would be happy to meet with you and discuss the mysteries of life, death and memories.
