She loved all holidays, especially Christmas and Easter, with elaborate decorations and so many presents for her family and the hiding of the infamous prize eggs for the kids and grandkids.

Patsy was an avid reader; she tried the kindle, but Patsy liked turning actual pages of a novel because she always read the last chapter first.. Her favorite title was “Nana”, and her whole world were her grandsons. Patsy supported them, traveled wherever they were to see them and cheered them on and loved them so dearly. She was a member of First United Methodist Church of Kaufman and later joined Community Life Church in Kaufman.

Patsy fought a courageous battle over the past year, never complaining, never saying she felt bad, with the ugly diseases of cancer and diabetes. The family appreciates the loving care provided by Ultimate Plus Hospice. A special thank you to Val Owens and Jimmie Anderson for such loving, and compassionate care..
