My name is Sara Patti and I live in Roscommon with my husband, Jeff and youngest child, Leo. Our two oldest children, Ashley and Sean, are living on their own at college. I have been going to Markey Church since late 2008. I was a stay at home mom until our youngest started pre-school in 2010, then I began substitute teaching for Houghton Lake School District part time. This eventually turned into full time until 2021, when I took a position as a mentor at Houghton Lake Community education. As a mentor, I work with students to keep them on track for graduation and connect them with resources that they might need. In my spare time, I enjoy sporting events, movies, and reading. I also like traveling to explore different cities and National Parks.
