Patricia attended Baker High School in Columbus, GA. She married her soulmate, Norbert W. Berryment (Buck), in Russell County, Alabama on October 3, 1975. The two settled in Box Springs, GA where they both lived a quiet life caring for their beloved animals while fostering many animals back to health that had been abandoned by others. They both had a deep love for animals and Veterans, donating for years to many charitable organizations to include humane societies, animal shelters, Veteran organizations, children’s charities, and Vietnam Vets.
Patricia managed the Colonial Bakery Company Store, retiring after 27 years. She was known by many as kind-hearted and generous, giving money out of her pocket so needy mothers could put food on the table and presents under the Christmas tree for their children.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew her; remembered by her family for her quick wit, teasing nature, and delighting in making each of them uncomfortable with her humor.

Berryment (Buck); her parents, William Oneal and Evelyn Burks Ligon; a brother, Phillip O'neal Ligon; 3 aunts, Edith Ligon Johnson, Mary Ligon Fiffis, and Irene Burks Shafer; 2 nieces, Fallon Ligon, Tara Ligon; and a nephew, Matthew Ligon.
