Our beloved Grandmama, known to some as Patsy Stem, passed away on Tuesday, February 26, 2019, in her home in Fort Smith. Grandmama was 89 years old and loved word games, pink sweatshirts, and Pepsi, but above all she loved her family. Known for her quick wit and strict house rules, Grandmama would give you anything she had whether it be a hug, a home, or the correct answer to your crossword puzzle. No one dared challenge her to a game of Boggle. She was devoted to her church, Trinity Baptist, and sang in the choir for many decades.
She was preceded in death by her husband of almost 60 years, our Papaw Randall R. Stem, and her daughter, Patricia Miller. She is survived by her son, Randall E. Stem; her grandchildren Martin Jamison, Gary Jamison, Monty Jamison, Nathan Stem, and Ashli Stem McLeod; 11 great-grandchildren; 3 great-great grandchildren; and her siblings Margret Younger, Ottis McElhaney, Wanda Beatty, and Robert McElhaney.
Funeral service will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, March 2, 2019, at Edwards Funeral Home in Fort Smith with burial 11 am Monday, March 4, 2019 at the U.S. National Cemetery in Fort Smith where she will be laid to rest next to her sweetheart. Services are under the direction of Edwards Funeral Home.
