Patti Gardi died Wednesday at the age of 83.
“Being the manager, she really had things organized,” said Louis St. Pierre, an SSO percussionist speaking to SooToday on Thursday. Gardi was predeceased by husband Frank Gardi, a well-known local TV producer and community events organizer.“Frank was the master at promoting and Patti was the master at organizing. They really kept the orchestra going. There is a board but she was the constant. Board members come and go but she was there to keep the office going and that things were done in the proper way,” St. Pierre said.
St. Pierre said Gardi will be remembered as “very good hearted and funny. She was very well liked. I’ll miss her.”
