Pat, known to her family as Mamaw, exuded a warmth and tenderness of spirit which was appreciated and cherished by those fortunate enough to know her. Her generous and accepting nature and ability to embrace loved ones and strangers alike and to share kindness with all was a Godly gift. Pat was the glue, the foundation and the framework of her family; she loved them with unwavering loyalty and dedication and with rarely a thought for her own needs, making all of their lives better for it.
She loved working on her plants and flowers in the garden, cooking delicious down-home meals and hosting guests (even those uninvited), no matter how many. She also reveled in time with her family, particularly her grandchildren.
Pat’s sweetness, gentleness, grace, patience and dignity will never be forgotten and will live on in the memories of her family and those who knew her.
Rest in peace, Mamaw. We will all miss you very much.
