As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we want to recognize and thank the incredible women of PMG, Patten Monument Group.
From administration and design to management, manufacturing, and family service, their dedication, skill, and care help shape the work we do every day. In an industry that has historically been male-dominated, we are proud of the many women who play such important roles across our company.
We also know it takes every member of our team. Our work is strongest when everyone contributes their talents and we move forward together.
We are grateful to the women who paved the way—and proud of the remarkable women of PMG who continue that legacy today.

In honor of Women’s History Month, PMG, Patten Monument Group, is proud to recognize two remarkable members of our team—Samantha Chidester and Jill Simms.

Both Sam and Jill earned the distinction of Certified Design Specialist through the Monument Builders of North America. This achievement required six months of intensive study under industry expert Jeff Anderson, where they developed advanced skills in drafting, scale, composition, and the thoughtful design of memorials.

Designing a memorial is both an art and a responsibility. It requires the ability to translate a life story into lasting form, balancing beauty, meaning, and craftsmanship. This certification represents a deep commitment to that work, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishment.

Both women bring extraordinary dedication to their roles every day. Samantha serves families while also supporting multiple PMG locations—splitting her time between Superior Monument, Patten Monument, and Great Lakes Granite Works, where she also plays an important role in purchasing.

Jill leads Holland Quality Monument, where she works closely with families and guides memorial design with care, creativity, and experience.

Their talent, hard work, and commitment to meaningful memorialization strengthen not only PMG, but the families and communities we serve. We are proud to celebrate their achievement and grateful for the many ways they contribute every day.
