Patti Harper

Patti Harper has spread her special brand of health and happiness throughout Berkshire County not only during her nursing career—25 years in Berkshire Medical Center’s ER and 15 at Monument Valley Middle School—but as a volunteer at Fairview Hospital’s COVID clinic and at Berkshire Botanical Gardens, always going above and beyond the call of duty. In “retirement,” you can find her working at Williams & Sons Country Store in Stockbridge, welcoming locals and out-of-town guests, offering advice on places and events to explore throughout the region. “Keep an eye out for Patti the next time you are in Stockbridge,” says her daughter-in-law, Lora Woodward. “She’ll be one of the brightest smiling faces you’ll see!”
