DOROTHY VAN PATTEN-WELLS MEMORIAL FUND
Dorothy Van Patten-Wells was an ardent advocate, supporter, and patron of the arts. Her dedication was particularly evident in her unwavering support of various high school music programs, particularly the Northwood High School Instrumental Music Program, which her son, Brad, co-founded.

Even after Brad assumed a district-level position, Dorothy continued to attend Northwood concerts, musicals, and celebrated the profound impact these experiences had on the lives of young individuals. To honor her legacy and perpetuate her commitment, the Van Patten Family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Northwood High School Instrumental Music Program. These donations will assist the students in continuing to benefit from the opportunities that Dorothy held so dear. To donate, please click HERE.
