Patti Smith: June 22, 1951-June 24, 2020
Patricia Ellen Smith was born in 1951, in Boston, MA. Her father was a Navy pilot, her mother a devoted homemaker for the growing family that moved every three years throughout Patti’s childhood. Four younger siblings joined the family along the way. Patti went to seven different schools, which she found challenging and increasingly painful. She described a gradual silencing of her voice by teachers who could not recognize her struggles, something which led her later in life to work tirelessly to help young people trust and practice using their own voices. Patti loved singing and acting; in high school drama she came to feel the beginnings of self-confidence.
