SaVRID Honors Long-time Interpreter Patty Lessard

It is with sincere sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague and friend Patty Lessard.

Patty was a long-time interpreter and professor in the Bay Area, and she touched the hearts and lives of many here in Sacramento.

The SaVRID Board extends our deepest condolences to Patty’s family, friends, and our shared communities.

Please share your pictures/videos for a visual tribute to: dan@treehousevideo.com

We will pass along any information we receive about a future memorial service.
