Born on 10/19/48, Pat lived a life defined by an open heart and an open door. She never needed a formal title or a blood tie to claim someone as her own. To Pat, if you were in her orbit, you were family.
But Pat’s legacy spans far beyond genealogy. She proudly served as “Aunt Pat” to a vast and cherished circle of chosen family. She raised, loved, and guided dozens of non-biological children and grandchildren who called her home their own. She never missed a birthday, a graduation, or a milestone for any of them. Her kitchen table was always large enough, and her heart had no limits.
She is survived by Samantha Morris, Santana and Kevin Simpson (Zoie South, Storie South, Colton Simpson) Chris and Tabitha Blackmon (Kriston Blackmon, Brooklyn Blackmon, Gage Blackmon, Tysen Blackmon, Jayden Pitts, Logan Holland, Austyn Ashworth, Jaxson Holland, Kinsleigh Gooden)
