During her life in Amherst County, Patricia worked several jobs and eventually retired from Randolph College. She always loved taking care of children which is how she met her god daughter and she also enjoyed gardening, fishing, music and her dogs.
In addition to her husband and parents, Patricia was preceded in death by her brothers James Robert Roper, Michael Dale Roper, and William Lee Roper.

Drago and husband Mike, James P. “Sam” Hunt and wife Shelly; her sisters Sally Dela Rosa, Mara’d VanderWal; her grandchildren Thomas Riner and wife Jenny, Melody Pillar and husband Bill, Patrick Hunt and wife Krysten, Keri Bassie and husband Mark; great-grandchildren Emma, Grace, Andrew, Tommie, Lyndsey, Caroline, Charlotte, Olivia, Ella; and god-daughter Makaya Tomlin.
A service celebrating her life will be conducted at 11 am Monday, January 23, 2023 at Whitten Monelison Chapel with Dr. Dan Reichard, and Pastor Charlie Olivieri officiating. Interment will follow at Meade Cemetery.
