Patricia Nicholas

She is preceded in death by her mother, Louise Wood. She is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 49 years, Glenn A. Nicholas Sr., her son, Glenn A. Nicholas Jr. and wife Tiffany, and her daughter, Kathy Penton and husband Tim. She also leaves five grandchildren, Mitchell, Garrett, and Sydney Penton; and Aaron and Trevor Nicholas.

Pat began her career as a civilian secretary in the military where she met her husband Glenn. With Glenn by her side, she spent many years volunteering in the Boy Scouts of America. Both Pat and Glenn were deeply involved in church and the activities of church with their children. They spent many fun summers traveling with Glenn Jr. and Kathy in tow. After retirement Pat teamed up with Glenn and they began barbeque cooking competitively. Their cooking led them to organize the Lone Star Barbeque Society in 1996, where Pat devoted much of her time.

Her husband, children, grandchildren, barbeque, travel, all kinds of sports and her email filled Pat’s days.

Pat died peacefully in her sleep surrounded by her loving children.

Visitation will be Friday, November 8, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and services will be held Saturday, November 9, at 2:00 p.m. Both will be at Shannon Rose Hill, 7301 E. Lancaster, Ft. Worth, Texas.
