Patsy was the picture-perfect sister, wife, mom, mother-in-law, mawmaw and friend. She loved her Lord and enjoyed singing and playing hymns. Patsy had her family in church and enjoyed that part of their lives. She was a wonderful cook and a fun people person which made grocery shopping an all-day event.
