Mary Patricia Davenport, better known as "Patty", age 63, passed away on June 12, 202, following a brief illness. Patty was a life-long resident of Marietta and attended a Center for Special Needs. She was a kind soul, but didn't hesitate to let her dislikes be known. She didn't like marshmallows or meringue, nor was she fond of animals. She especially enjoyed swinging on the porch at the mountain house and rocking when it wasn't porch weather. One of her brother's favorite memories was how much she loved riding the Dahlonega Mine Train at Six Flags. She loved music and knew the words to sing along to many songs. Her favorite gift was to receive a bottle of fingernail polish. Patty will be greatly missed. Survivors include her loving parents, Ruth Wise Davenport and Tifton Davenport of Marietta, GA; sister-in-law, Laura Davenport of Roswell, GA; nieces Corinne and Camille Davenport also of Roswell, GA. She was preceded in death by her brother, Larry Davenport. She also leaves behind many uncles, aunts, cousins and a host of other relatives and friends.
