Our Longest Serving Employee - Nurse Since 1971!

When you first come into our community in the afternoon or evening, it’s Patsy’s smiling face that you will most likely see at the front desk. Patsy has been with us at Valley View Estates since April 1, 1971 – no fooling!

A Native Montanan, Patsy was born in the still tiny town of Wisdom. She did her nursing practicals in Havre, Montana and moved to Hamilton to join Valley View Estates. Patsy was first on the nursing staff for 10 years. For a change of pace, she was our Activity Director for the next 10 years. She was then lured back into nursing where she has been providing compassionate care ever since. Why has she stayed so long? Patsy simply says (with her wonderful smile) “Well, I just love the residents!”
