Pat loved life but yearned for the day to be with her eternal savior, Jesus Christ. She lived her life as a devout Christian and was a dedicated member of Crooked Creek Independent Baptist Church where she loved to teach the ladies Sunday School class and used her voice of love for the Lord in the church choir and as a volunteer singer on Sunday morning, not only at Crooked Creek, but at many other churches in and around her.
Pat spent many years as an employee at Russell Textile Mills in Alexander City but had spent the last 30+ years as a housewife, mother and grandmother. She also cared for her father and sister before their deaths and was ALWAYS there for her family and friends without hesitation.
To know Pat, was to love her! She never spoke ill of anyone and she loved everybody with all her heart. While she will be missed dearly, her family knows that she is at peace in the arms of her Lord and savior, Jesus Christ and would like to take this time to thank each and everyone who has sent prayers, love and their condolences for them during this difficult time.
