I'm so sorry to hear about Patty's passing. She and I were second cousins (my Dad John is her first cousin) and I always loved getting to see her. She always had a smile on her face and a warm hug for me! Her last trip home to Steubenville was for my wedding in 2016 and I was so happy she came to celebrate with us! I have wonderful memories of her from childhood when she would come back to visit her mom and brother. Sending prayers for all her family.
Nana was magical! Every time we visited Arkansas, we were welcomed with open arms and Southern charm. There is no one like her. We are filled with joy knowing that she is reunited with her beloved husband, our Grandpa Jack, and loved ones. Until we meet again...
Cody, I am so sorry for the loss of your Nana. Will keep you in my prayers. Love you and your little family very much. Aunt Bea
Paula, Pammy, & families: may God hold you close and give peace & comfort to your hearts. I still remember when the tress behind us were cut, a new house was built on the site, and your family became our ‘backyard’ neighbors. Patty & I had many visits n conversations at our ‘backyard gatherings’. Our prayers are lifted for you all. Jim & Carnell Proctor
To Pam and Paula. I am so sorry for your loss. I have sweet memories of your mom when we were just kids growing up in NLR. Your family is being lifted in prayer by so many.
Patty was the best mother n law a guy could ask for I married her daughter pam and have been in the family for 19 yrs and she accepted me a good ol country boy that loved her daughter. I will always love and miss her .
Oh sweet Patty we miss you so much already, you were a joy to everyone at Lakewood it was an honor to know you and be able to take care of you and love on you. Watch over all of us , we love you.
Sending Prayers of Peace for Patty’s family. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you! I met Patty around 30 years ago working at Dillards, she was always talkative and would always make me smile!
I always admired Patty for her loving spirit. She would tell you "how the cow ate the cabbage" and our many years together have provided wonderful memories. The saying, "Where there was much love, there is much grief" is true. May my second mom rest in eternal peace. ??
She was the best stepmom anyone could ever ask for. I'm going to miss sending her flowers on certain occasions. I'm going to miss her tremendously
I’m going to miss this pretty lady. She lit up the therapy room and made it fun to be around her. I will miss going into the dining room and seeing her beautiful smile. My condolences to her family. I will keep them in my prayers.
My “Mom” for the last 17 years, especially after my Mom and Dad died in 2012 and 2016. I could not have loved her more and will miss her every day. Rest in peace Patty. Love you so much, Sue
My sweet Nana, I cannot even begin to list the things you brought to my life. You were always full of such sass, joy, humor, and love! You lite up every room you rolled into and expelled sunshine from every angle. You truly were one of the best parts of my day and you made lakewood such a home. This world was so lucky to have you be apart of it! Continue looking out of all of us down here! We love you!
Condolences to Patty's family. She will be greatly missed. She and Jack great neighbors as snowbirds in Florida. Tim miss you all,healing prayers for all.
