Patricia held many jobs throughout her life. She worked for many years at Southern Plastic and Jim Dandy as a welder. She was also involved in teaching bowling to kids for Summer league. Her passion was found in her kitchen, where she spent countless hours decorating beautiful cakes for family, friends, and community events. She lovingly made crochet blankets for local hospitals especially, NICUs, to bring warmth and comfort to patients in need. Her thoughtful gifts and kind deeds touched many lives. Patricia loved flowers, animals and most of all spending time with her family, friends, and neighbors. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her best and loved her most.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph "JC" Wallace; daughter, Lisa Ann Wallace; and her parents.
