of Little Rock, AR
January 22, 1941 - February 12, 2025
Patsy Marie Pflugrad peacefully transitioned into eternity on February 12, 2025. Pat was born to Charles Miller Jr. and Henrietta Miller and spent her childhood in Scott and England, Arkansas where her love for music began as a small girl playing the piano. Pat's family moved to Benton, where she attended high school, participating in band, Y-Teens, Pep Club, Cheerleading and was voted ''Most Spirited'' and ''Most Popular''. As an adult she enjoyed tennis and golf at Trace Creek Country Club
Pat's entrepreneurial spirit was an important part of who she was. She owned Dinks Flower Shop in Benton for many years and at times her daughters, Julie and Kelle, could be found working alongside their mother. Pat enjoyed working as a decorator and designer; many homes in Central Arkansas were amazingly transformed by her skillful touch. Pat was able to share her lifelong love for antiques with others when she established Pflugrad's Antiques, a well-known business in The Heights. This is where her precious Umbrella Cockatoo Parrot, ''Rainbow'', performed for customers for nearly 20 years.
Pat was a Christian. She and her husband, Jim are members of St. James United Methodist Church. One of Pat's favorite things was to listen to the wonderful music which filled the sanctuary through the beautiful organ pipes.
In addition to her parents, Pat is preceded in death by her daughter, Kelle Green-Carter.
Memories are left to her loving husband, Jimmy David Pflugrad; brother, Charles Ray Miller (Gerry Ann); her daughter, Julie Joyce (Danny); stepson, Ricky Pflugrad (Jolene'); stepdaughter, Kimberly Gribi (James); sister-in-laws, Dinah Pflugrad (Ellie) and Debra Adams (Tracy); brother-in-law, Robin Pflugrad (Marlene); four grandchildren and four great grandchildren; nine nieces and nephews, her two loving dogs-Simon and Sweetie Pie and Boo-boo her African Grey Parrot of 25 years, plus many other loving family and friends, including her special caregivers, Tamara, Barbara and Ann. Additionally, the family would like to thank the wonderful people with the Hospice Home Care team.
Proverbs 11:16 says, ''A gracious and good woman attains honor''. These words perfectly describe Patsy a truly loving and caring person. She will be missed!! Pat's celebration of life will be held in the full bloom of Spring or Summer.
