She was born in Haines City, Florida on August 14, 1933. She graduated from Clearwater High School, and in 1953 married the love of her life, Douglas J. Loeffler.
Patty was a member of the Clearwater Women’s Club, Peace Memorial Church- Clearwater, The YWCA Board, and a volunteer for the Neighborly Senior Services Meals on Wheels program for many years. But her greatest joy came from being a homemaker and raising her three children, who later gave her 8 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
Patty is preceded in death, by her parents, Nina Wallace Bailey and Grady Bailey, her sister Midge Coward, and her brother Grady (Sonny) Bailey.
She is survived by her beloved husband Douglas Loeffler of 70 years, her children Douglas J. Loeffler, Jr. (Kay), Pamela Loeffler Vierling (Dan), and Michael P. Loeffler (Karen). “Mama” was a loving grandmother to Erin, Emily, Marina, Michael, Sarah, Jenny, Brian, and Rachel, and a great-grandmother to Grace, Faith, Belle, Luke, Emma, Brooke, Tanner, Jace, Jackson, Addie and Olivia.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Covenant Health Hospice, 280 Fort Sanders West Blvd., Suite 202, Knoxville, TN 37922.
The family welcomes friends to a Visitation from 11:00am to 1:00pm on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at Sherwood Chapel and Memorial Gardens with a Celebration of Life to follow at 1pm.
