A smile was always a challenge to catch on her face ....BUT, put a fishing pole in her hands, play some Reggae music in the background and grab your camera.... Smiles coming! Keep fishing Patsy, nothing made you happier. :) Doug

Dearest Patsy, I can only hope your dragging a nice fat Ballyhoo behind you as you're fishing through the heavens! We all miss you Mom. 

.Last visit I had with Patsy, JoAnn and Nana. Grateful for it. RIP Patsy. You will always be in my heart!

Was so delighted to spend this day with Patsy and the rest of the family. Last time I saw her. She will be forever missed, never forgotten and always loved. My prayers are with my family during this sad time.

It was a honor to call Patsy my friend.   She was so kind, caring and fun to be around.  The most loving and beautiful soul.  I will miss you dearly.  Rest in peace my dear friend.   Heaven has a beautiful angel.   Love you!  🌹 

I use to run over after-school to visit with Patsy almost everyday. I honestly can't remember what we use to talk about, but I remember being listened to. Patsy didn't have to, but she made time for me everyday to listen to me as child and I remember the happy feeling of visiting with her. I will never forget her and the time she shared with me. 

Patsy will be missed terribly by all that knew her. She was always a very sweet person. It was a pleasure to have yall as neighbors as we grew up together.  Cindy and I offer our condolences to all of you.  It's not easy to lose a parent, or any family member at anytime.  May God give yall the strength and comfort needed to get through this painful situation in your lives. She will continue to live on forever in your hearts.  May she rest in peace in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father Jesus Christ Himself.  God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏

I have known Don and Patsy for many years.  Patsy was a beautiful, loving, and amazing person and it was a pleasure to have known her and call her my friend.  I will miss her as I know all that love her will. 

I'm saddened deeply for the loss of my sister Patsy.  She was the most humble, sweet and wonderful human being I've even known.  I cherish the time we spent together throughout our lives.  She made me a better person.  I love Patty and God bless our family.

Love your little brother, Jody.

Patsy was a wonderful neighbor and surrogate (adopted) grandmother to Sarah.  I could barely get the car in park before Sarah was bounding out to run and tell Patsy about her day. Patsy always had time for her and listened to all she had to say. Sarah loved going there - to the point I'd have to drag her home for dinner and homework. 
On Halloween we would sit in their driveway handing out candy. Sarah made sure she was finished with her tricker treating earlier,  to be able to spend time with her and hand out candy. 
The Tweedys always made us feel special (especially Sarah).
Love and miss you Patsy 

(continued from above) This was clear from a conversation with her or a stack of crossword books she conquered. She loved to play bingo or casino style games. She loved to challenge her mind.
	Other than coaching her girls, she loved to watch others. She loved to watch sports. I have yet to meet another person in my life that had the unrivaled decades of detailed sports knowledge that she possessed. She watched football, tennis-any of the many sports my Aunt LaRisa excelled at. She would stay up late at night finishing a game or continue for days on end when the Olympics were on. Above all-basketball-she was a true fan. I knew a game would begin soon as she would become antsy wherever we were at, always acting nonchalantly as though there was no hurry. When she was home, she would sit on the edge of her seat ringing her hands. She was deeply invested in Horry, Duncan, and any decision Popovich made. It was as though this was her team, her players.
	My Nanna was an amazing person to know. She taught me so much about hard work, strength, class, caring for others, all while truly being yourself. She was always there for me-every occasion, no occasion, and in my heart. She truly led by example. My Aunt Kelly said so many things right, but most of all it is true-she was perfect. She told me I was her heartstring, and now mine is terribly weighted. Nanna, it is not possible to thank you for every effort, moment, or memory. I want to thank you most of all, for being you. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!-Haley Rae


My earliest memory of my grandmother was swinging with her in a giant tire swing in her backyard together. I can remember her arms and legs stretched out as we swung as though she was going to embrace the camera my Papa held. We had the biggest smiles in that picture. I loved my time with her, and I was so fortunate, over my life-no matter far or close I lived, to spend so much time with her. Originally, she would sing How Much is that Doggy in the Window with me and that will always be our song. But she had a love and natural rhythm for good music. She would clap her hands and rock her body to the R&B and Motown of the 50’s and 60’s. She would say, “Haley Rae has Nanna ever taught you how to shag? You just hold my hand like you are holding a doorknob and move like this…”. Nanna had moves and had competed in the dance competitions on Myrtle Beach as a young woman-it showed.
	     I remember baking cupcakes together and helping her with housework. It was baffling how she floated around the house maintaining it flawlessly. Every task done, everything in its place, perfect as a picture. She still managed to be well put together every day. Fresh nails, make up, a stylish outfit. She always looked “sharp”.  She had style. Most of all she had class. She was humble, polite, impressively hospitable and funny. I loved to hear her giggle. She would pace the floor as she snickered. Usually saying something like, “Oh, Sherri!”. My Mom made her laugh the regularly-every time they spoke she smiled and laughed until she nearly cried. Her family made her so happy. She was an exemplary wife as she adored my Papa-her best friend. They raised three amazing women. There was nothing more important to her than family.
	For all the time she spent she spent on everyone and everything else she did for us, she still found time to become a puzzle aficionado and sports expert. My Nanna was very intelligent. She had a strong understanding of language, vocabulary, and a mind for games(continued)

Years have passed since I first met Patsy and Don. They came into the salon as clients and turned into an amazing friendship. I could always be myself around Patsy and her warm greetings always included a kiss and a hug. Always enjoyed talking about our Spurs with her. She was always there with me in good times and bad times. Patsy always spoke from her heart and gave the best motherly advise. I was always welcomed in her house with open arms and a big smile. The conversations we shared in the last 30 plus years were always meaningful, laughable and sometimes a little sad but I loved them all. Patsy you will be forever missed and I love you my dearest friend!

Ms. Tweedy was like a 2nd mom to us during our high school years.  First meet Ms. Tweedy on the Camelot Little League field.  She was our Panther softball coach for the next few years and took us to Waco for All Star state tournament.  We spent many hours talking and laughing at her dining room table.  
Ms. Tweedy is a special lady, a blessing to our teenage years and will be missed.  Rest in Peace.

When they say no one's perfect...they haven't met my mother, Patsy Tweedy.

She lived a life of integrity, grace and loyalty. A woman of strong faith, she always prayed before every meal and when I'd say, "See you tomorrow. She'd always reply, God's willing." She loved and protected her children fiercely; during good times and bad.  She taught her children to do the right thing, even when it was hard.  She’s was generous, gracious and a person of strong character and strength.  She was a role model for her daughters demonstrating that you can work, be a wife and a loving mother.  She was smart and led the family as if she was following while lifting others up for success.  A trait I practice and value in my daily life.

My mom was incredibly caring of others; sometimes at the sacrifice of herself.  She was empathetic and intuitive to the feelings of those she held dear.  My mom never missed a special occasion for her children or grandchildren always planning well in advance every detail and arriving with her hands filled with gifts, flowers, candy...and the most beautifully written cards.  She made even the smallest moments feel monumental, because to her, every moment mattered.

My mom, my heart and soul; she never lost sight of what was best for me. Cheering me on in life, my career, my family and personal pursuits.  She made me believe that there was nothing I couldn't accomplish.  That constant whisper over the years has become a belief that I'm proud to pass on to my children Garrett and Morgan.

I'm grateful that my mother taught me to be strong, intentional with my actions to serve others, that kindness is not a weakness and most of all...moments matter.  She was beautifully, gracefully and lovingly perfect.

Love, Kelly, Russell, Garrett and Morgan





To know Patsy was to be treated like family.  She had a giant loving heart and always put others before herself.  She was a great neighbor and friend to my parents and a friend of mine as well. I’ll always remember the time I was recuperating from foot surgery and my parents had to be out of town unexpectedly. She checked in on me daily and brought some good southern comfort meals. I will remember your precious smile and kind generous heart. Good night sweet Patsy. 

I have known Patsy for 30 plus years. First as a neighbor and later becoming good friends. In all those years you and I made some lasting memories (some of those still make me chuckle). 
I enjoyed meeting  for lunch at our favorite place, going to Bingo or just talking on the phone. I miss those talks and I miss you forever my friend. 

I can remember meeting Patsy for the first time. I was around 12 years old. Mom and Bill took me and Mary Lou down with them to meet the new bride. It was their first house on the base. Rather small. There was a park across the street from there. Mary Lou and I played there, and Patsy called us in for supper. She had made grits. We had never eaten them before, but we did try them. I didn't like them, and Patsy said I didn't have to eat them if I didn't like them. I didn't. We all laughed. One time when they were around the area to visit Dons sisters, I had invited them to come over for supper. I had worked 8 hours that day, and had a Dr. appt after work. I was late starting supper. But Don and Patsy were very patient. While I was in the kitchen, I told them that I was sorry I didn't have time to make some real potatoes, and that I had to use instant potatoes for mashed. Patsy said to me that some of the best mashed potatoes  they had ever eaten were from instant potatoes.  She didn't know what her friend had put in them, but don't  worry, that was alright with them. She always knew just the right thing to say. I felt so much better after she told me that. I'm so glad Don was stationed in S.C., and met her at that bowling alley. They were truly sole mates. She will be deeply missed, and I know she will be watching over all of us, from heaven, and keeping us safe. Rest in peace Patsy. Heaven now has one more angel. We will never forget you, and we will always love you. Pat (Tweedy) Hemmie

Patsy nick named me her "Fishing Buddy"years ago and boy did we fish! She always got so excited with a rod in her hands. It didn't matter if it was a little fish, a big fish or just a shrimp on the end of the line Patsy loved fishing! Everyone who loved Patsy knew catching a smile in a picture was always a challenge. When my dear mother in law was fishing.... she was always smiling! :) Keep fishing Patsy!

Most of you knew my mother as a kind southern bell.That was not my experience.My mother was a true badass!
She taught her daughters to be kind, but never weak.No matter how much fear she had about a situation she would never run but face it head on.She was terrified of water and could not swim but she would go fishing in the middle of the ocean with me and Doug in about 1500 feet of water in the shipping channel.Fishing was her passion!She loved it! Next to gambling it was her favorite thing to do.
She taught us to live our lives simply and with grace.
My Mother was my best friend and not even death can ever take her away from me.My Mother will always live in my heart and in all the stories I tell about her.My Mother truly loved me and she always made sure I knew it!
I always loved her nativity, and she always love my laugh, so here you go Mom ,
I guess you never have to worry about me sending a stripper to your house anymore!!
I love you with all my heart and soul and will miss you terribly!
Sherri Lee


Patsy was a dear friend to me and a wonderful neighbor.  I will never forget her text to me when she new I was sick. I will always hold her close to my ❤️

PATSY WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT. A CLASSY LADY AND LOYAL FRIEND. BUT MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY. SHE WAS A GREAT MOTHER.  LARISA, HER DAUGHTER WAS A GREAT ATHLETE AND MOM PATSY WAS ALWAYS HER BIGGEST FAN AND SUPPORTER. LARISA PLAYED ON THE HOUSTON COMETS SOFTBALL TEAM AND PATSY MADE THE TRIP TO BE THERE FOR HER AT EVERY GAME. WHAT A FAN!!!  WHAT A GREAT MOTHER!!! LOVE YOU.

Mom l was so blessed to have such a loving and caring mother who was also my best friend.   The love you gave our family and the fight you showed through your illness makes me so proud to be your daughter.  My heart is broken and I will miss you.   I know you will always be with me! I will love you forever!  

To my Loving Brother and Family,  My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I love you all so very much. Our Patsy is so very much missed. She was my girlfriend and my best friend to. Always so very loving and caring. Love and prayers.  Mary Lou

My Sister-in-Law, Patsy.  What can I say.  We were not only sisters-in-law but also good friends.  We could talk and laugh for hours.  It was always fun to be around you and I will miss you greatly and will always keep you in my heart.

Patsy was the love of my life. She was such a wonderful person and loved by anyone who knew her. I was very fortunate to have been married to her for over 60 years. I have so many wonderful memories of her that will last me for the rest of my life.  Patsy, my sweetheart, I Love You.

Patsy was a special person, devoted wife and a good mother.  Very supportive and protective of her family.  I never heard her say anything negative about anyone.  She always made you feel special
and always had a smile.  She will be truley missed by all that knew her.

My sweet Aunt Patsy- we all loved you so❤️.  The angels were singing as you arrived through the gates of Heaven- with your baby sisters arms extended to embrace you.  May the love and  laughter you always shared continue on in this next life.  I miss you and please give mom the biggest kiss from me- and her grandchildren!!!

Ms. Tweedy was the most kindest person I know. We would laugh together all the time. She always had french fries and pizza waiting for LaRisa and I when we would come home for awhile before our high school volleyball and basketball games. Ms. Tweedy was like a second mother to me. I spent time with the Tweedy family often and I love them dearly. So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss.  Many great childhood memories with the Tweedys.  Ms. Patsy was always cheering us on and coaching us on the softball field and life in general. A true gem.  LaRisa, Sherri, Kelly and Mr. Don, I will keep you in my prayers. 

My aunt Patsy was the epitome of grace, kindness and love. I know no other than my Mother to compare her to. She was far away in distance as we aged, but always close in heart. I’m so thankful that I got to visit her several years ago in San Antonio briefly.  It felt like we had never been apart. I love you and Rest In Peace. You will be missed but not forgotten and with a lot of my heart up there. 

LaRisa, your Westbranch friends are thinking about you. Your mother seemed like a very special woman, and you sure seemed very lucky to be her daughter and she your mother. May there be comfort as you celebrate her great life and all the wonderful times you shared together. I am sure she will always be with you, LaRisa. 

Incredible lady.  Always treated me as her own son. Her passing has left a void in our family. She will be greatly missed.
