With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Patti Ann Vinton (Payd), of Rochester, NY. She passed away on March 12, 2023 in Rochester, NY unexpectedly at 62 years old.

She was born in Rochester, NY on September 8, 1960, to the late Charles and Jacqueline Payd (Scott).

Preceded in death by her devoted husband and love of her life, Ronald Vinton.

Patti spent some years in Arizona but moved back to Rochester where she carried on with happiest and best part of her life. She worked for several years as a peer coach and mental health advocate for Rochester Psychiatric Center. Her work was near and dear to her heart. She loved her family, a good documentary, and was a huge animal lover.

Patti leaves behind her daughter, Danielle (Michael Molyneaux) Ralston, her son, Jason (Sabrina Koch) Vinton, her sister, Peggy (Leonard LaRosa) Julian, her grandsons, Tyler Hoffman, Hunter Hoffman, and Brandon Nashburn, her nephew, Paul (Stacy) Julian, and great nieces Adelaide and Kinsley; and her niece, Toni (Pat) Lynd.

To honor Patti’s memory and Patti’s and Ronald’s lives and love for each other, we invite friends and family to attend a Celebration of their life and love early this summer.

It was Patti’s biggest goal to be well enough to attend a celebration of Ronald’s life and she spent the last year working so very hard to accomplish that. Family was very happy that she was finally well enough to do so but did not know that there were bigger plans in the works. Appropriately, they will attend together.

An update with exact place, date and time will be added later.
