Patricia was a woman who deeply valued fellowship with her family. She loved gathering around food, sharing stories, laughter, and time together. Being with her family brought her the greatest joy. She truly enjoyed people and never hesitated to speak her mind—she was strong, resilient, and didn’t take any flack from anyone. Yet beneath her tough exterior was a genuine heart of gold.

She also shared a special bond with her beloved grand-dogs, Baylee, and Blake, who brought her much happiness.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Patricia’s name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Patricia’s love, strength, and unwavering devotion to her family will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
