the 10th of January, 2022. Patsey was the second child of Ezekiel and Lydia Conner, and was born
on the 3rd of June 1933, in Delano California. Patsey attended high school in Tracy, California, where
she met her husband, Marlin Carter. They married on the 15th of October, 1949.
Patsey lived most of her life in Tracy, which is where she called home, but was a resident of Hanford California upon her passing. Patsey's husband had predeceased her in 2012, and their oldest son in 2017. Patsey is survived by her children; Stephen Carter, Chris & Cari Carter, Linda & Otto Rohrenback, and Jennifer & Russell Hastings; Patsy had 12 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren who
all loved her dearly.
After surviving a stroke in 2020, Patsey required around-the-clock care. She resided at Kings Nursing Home in Hanford California, where she captured the hearts of the nursing staff with her gracious, loving and gentle heart. Patsey was a tenderhearted, supportive, nurturing, and selfless mother to say the least. Patsey always expressed a positive outlook with a passion for life. She lived a simple life with pleasures such as shopping J.C. Penny's, dollar stores, window shopping, eating out with her family, and traveling. But her greatest joy had always been found in her family, being a devoted wife of over 70 years and mother, her love for her family and those she called friends were unmeasurable. She will always be remembered and cherished.
The moment that you had to leave, our hearts were torn in two; one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. We know when darkness falls, and the world is fast asleep, we will take those quiet moments when we are alone, to be inside of our thoughts, as we recall the memories of you. We will smile with tears in our eyes, but our hearts will be filled with gratefulness for your life and for the life you shared with us all. Your unconditional love, will live on in our hearts forever. Missing mom is a heartache that will never go away, and each time we think of you, we will remember how lucky we were to have you. With deeply devoted love, we will hold on to our memories until the joyous day arrives, that we meet again. May peace always be with you.
