Patsy graduated from Wheatley High School in 1951. She married Arthur Paul ''Pete'' Dabbs, and they settled in Osceola, Arkansas, where they raised their two daughters, Donna and Paula. They were faithful members of First Baptist Church of Osceola where Patsy taught Sunday School for many years. She thoroughly enjoyed her friendships in the T.E.L. class. She worked for Osceola Products Company and Producers Mid-South as a traffic manager for 45 years, retiring in 2007.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Pete Dabbs, in 1998; parents; brother, Leon Mason; and two infant brothers. Patsy's family would like to thank Baptist Village and Good Shepherd Hospice of Oklahoma City for their compassionate care during her illness and to her T.E.L. Sunday School friends who continued to pray for her and send cards and letters even when she moved away.
So sorry, to hear about your Mom. She was a true Christian lady. Such a nice person to know, always so friendly and kind. I know you both will miss her.
Dear Donna,
I was sorry to hear about your dear mother. She was such a sweet and caring woman. I always enjoyed talking with her when I met her around town. She always told me about you and the girls. She loved all of her family so much. She had very encouraging words for me when I lost my mother in 2010. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Vickie
Donna, Paula and Family,
Thinking about you and praying for you in your loss. Your mother was such a soft spoken, kind and sweet spirited lady. God bless you as you honor her and celebrate her life in these next days.
Love and Hugs,
Glenda
So sorry for your loss. Ms. Patsy was a special lady.
