THE PASSING OF RHEA+KAISER’S PATSY COMELLA
Source: Agri Marketing magazine

Patsy Comella, former Media Director and VP at agency Rhea+Kaiser, passed away unexpectedly October 23rd. Patsy was a giant in Ag Media circles and was respected by clients and co-workers as bright, strategic, and above all, fair.

Patsy Comella
A cornerstone of Rhea+Kaiser leadership from its beginnings in the 70s, Patsy was loved by fellow agency staffers for her unwavering mentoring, support and tenacious friendship. Her often-perceived hard exterior was countered by her soft, tender soul.

Following her retirement from the agency, Patsy and her husband, Marc, moved to the home they built on the beach of her beloved Grand Turk Island. There they created friendships, fostered stray dogs, donkeys and welcomed guests at their Airbnb. They both enjoyed regular trips back to Chicago, keeping close to friends and family. A GofundMe page has been set up to benefit Patsy's passion for caring for All Creatures, Great and Small--those who knew Pats, were blessed to be counted among them.

Please consider a donation in Patsy's honor to the Grand Turk Chapter of the Turks and Caicos Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals which she and Marc have lovingly supported.
