Patricia A. Wallace

Born on April 19, 1947, in Bristol, Virginia, Patricia Anne Wallace lived a life defined by devotion to her family, steady perseverance, and a caring spirit. She worked for many years as a Certified Medical Assistant, serving others through her work in healthcare. Her life was also grounded in the Christian faith and Baptist tradition.

Patricia found happiness in both simple pleasures and creative pursuits. She enjoyed camping, spending time with family, toll painting, playing the piano, reading, and listening to music. She especially loved Elvis, and Olive Garden was among her favorite places. These interests remained an important part of her life and brought her comfort and enjoyment over the years.

She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Jerry Wayne Wallace; son, Brandon Cooper; daughter-in-law and long-time caregiver, Donna Cooper; sister, Robin Cooper; brother and sister-in-law Rick and Judy Whitson; daughter and son-in-law, Jerrica and Scott Herd; daughter and son-in-law, Sara and Troy Collins; grandson, Aaron Cooper; granddaughter, Darby Murabito; grandsons, Cole Murabito and Henry Holt; great-grandson, Jaiden Cooper; nieces and nephews; and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Steve Wallace, Kathy Johnson, Martha Singleton, Sonny Wallace, and Randy Wallace.

She was preceded in death by her son, Jason Cooper; father and step-mother, Herbert Whitson and Betty Whitson; and mother and step-father, Glassie Inez Pullon and James Pullon.

Patricia Anne Wallace will be remembered for the care she extended to others, the strength she showed throughout her life, and the time she cherished with those closest to her.

The family extends special thanks to Amedisys Hospice for the support and care provided.
