Pat was born September 8, 1952 to Grady and Nell (Armstrong) Hamilton at East End Memorial

Hospital in Birmingham. The family was joined 14 months later by baby sister Gay. The first 7

years the family lived in a few different locations in and around Birmingham. They later moved to

a location near Gadsden, AL on 5 acres of land and spent 4 very happy years there before

returning to live in Gardendale. Pat graduated from Gardendale High School in 1970 and

immediately married. That family increased in 1971 when daughter Crista was born.

After remarrying in 1974, the family moved to Childersburg and later Chelsea where they lived

13 really happy years until 1991. During the Chelsea years, she attended college classes at

Jefferson State, UAB and Liberty University. She was awarded honors; Presidents List, Dean's

List and tapped into Phi Beta Kappa, finally graduating Summa Cum Laude with an accounting

degree. The next move was to Ashville during which time Pat met Danny, and 10 years later

moved to Springville. Pat and Danny married November 9th 2000 and spent the intervening

years playing, camping and boating with with the grandchildren every possible minute.

For more than 50 years, long term friends Montez Seivers and Hilda Nix, were always there

and always dearly loved and appreciated along with numerous other treasured friends.

There were also many precious pets along the way to brighten her life. They were all dearly

loved.

Pat has crossed over to be with Jesus in Heaven. She would love to meet each of you when it

comes your turn to cross to the other side. Please make things right with Jesus so that can

happen. She is fine, not gone far away, just on the other side of a thin veil, waiting for you.

Her family will celebrate her life on Monday, October 7, 2024, at Ridout's Trussville Chapel. A visitation will be at 10:00 a.m. with her service beginning at 11:00 a.m. with Rev. Rodney Frost officiating.
