Patricia Ann Furey

Pasty was born in Liberty Texas on February 15th, 1949 to Nellie Mae & Neil Emmett Lang Sr., and was the younger sister to brothers Steve and preceded in death by Emmett Jr.

Patsy is survived by her husband of 34 years, James Michael Furey, USCG Ret, her son, Darin Shea Palmer and his wife Leslie and her step children, James Furey II and Lynn Furey.

Patsy was a native Texan who loved the Hill Country and hunting for Bluebonnets. After marrying Jim in 1989, their shared love of travel was a source of inspiration and their annual adventures took them to all 50 States and all provinces and territories of Canada. Mostly traveling by road, Patsy enjoyed the scenic route and making new friends along the way. Among her favorite spots, the Kenai Fjords in Alaska and a trek to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada to see the polar bears.

She enjoyed many hobbies. Always crocheting or completing needlework for gifting, especially to celebrate births, birthdays and re-birthdays. Her Mickey Mouse collection grew over decades and she never went anywhere without her favorite character. Patsy loved all holidays as they brought together family from around the country. Her favorite holiday was Christmas and she loved displaying ornaments and decor collected during her travels. Of all her hobbies, her favorite was always her beloved cats. Over the years, she’s had several cats. Some of her favorites include Bad Cat, Minnie & Daisy and most recently Shelly & Peaches who miss her every day.

Because of her love of animals, if you’d like to make a donation in Patsy’s honor, please donate to your local animal shelter.
