Patricia was a woman of immense creativity and a keen appreciation for beauty. She found joy in drawing, painting, and crocheting, crafting pieces that reflected her love for art and life. She also delighted in traveling to visit her family, cherishing every moment spent with loved ones. An avid lover of the outdoors, Patricia surrounded herself with plants, bringing life and vibrancy to her home. Her faith was an integral part of her life, and she found comfort and inspiration in reading her Bible. She enjoyed learning her family history as well.

Her presence brought warmth and light to everyone she met. Patricia’s kind heart, enduring faith, and artistic spirit will forever be remembered and deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
