Patricia Helen Prater

Patricia “Pat” Prater, 83, of Richmond, passed away Thursday, November 20, 2025, at her home in Katy, TX. She was born on July 27, 1942, in Kingsville, Texas, to Bonna Jean Rogers and Dallas Max Rogers.

Pat Prater was born and raised in Kingsville, Texas, where her lively personality shone brightly from an early age. She was strong-willed and never afraid to speak her mind. She brought joy wherever she went and was known for her big, unforgettable laugh that could fill any room. She married the love of her life, Tim Prater, in Kingsville, and together they shared nearly 57 years of devotion and family. Pat’s faith in Jesus Christ remained her source of strength through every season of her life.

Pat loved her family fiercely, and nothing meant more to her than time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved time spent traveling with her sister, Jean, and her brother-in-law, Bill Chamberlain. Even as dementia slowed her in later years, it never dimmed her joy or her ability to light up when family walked through the door. She will be remembered for her vibrant spirit, her contagious laughter, and the love she poured into those around her. Her legacy lives on in the generations she cherished so dearly.

Survived by her son, Allan Prater and his wife, Brandi; daughter Kris Fogie and husband, Clint; grandchildren, Gabrielle Andreason and husband, Alex; Tomas Prater and wife Casi; Clint Fogie; Joshua Fogie; Jacob Fogie; great-grandchildren, Sawyer Andreason; Naomi Andreason; Ephraim Andreason; sister Jeannie Chamberlain, and husband, Bill; sister-in-law, Marva Rogers; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Dallas and Bonna Rogers; her brother, Lewis Rogers; and her husband, Tim Prater.

Pat was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, whose lively spirit and deep compassion enriched the lives of all who knew her. She will be greatly missed.

The Prater family would like to give a special thanks to Veranda House Assisted Living in Katy and to the staff who took great care of her in her final days.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM Sunday, December 7, 2025, in the chapel of Katy Funeral Home. 23350 Kingsland Blvd. Katy, TX 77494
