There was standing room only at the Oakdale Memorial Chapel last Thursday for the memorial for Patti Ulrich. Burial was at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Knights Ferry. Many co-workers from Hershey’s and numerous family members and friends then enjoyed the reception at the River’s Edge. She will be missed by Knights Ferry, her home for many years.
