Pat dedicated her life to lovingly taking care of those in the beginning of their life for the first part of her career and then to those nearing the end of life in the last part of her career.  She was a proud member of Gordo First Baptist Church, faithfully attending services as a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ.  Pat was blessed with many friends that blessed her life daily with phone calls.  Her brother and sisters shared a special relationship and loved spending time together, Her passion was her family as she was always willing to selflessly help and serve each member any time they needed her.  She relished the moments when all of her children and grandchildren were together.  Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.  She couldn't give them much materially but showered them with her love and concern about what was happening in their lives.  She made trips to her home fun and filled with games, wonderful meals and lots of laughter.
Pat's life was a testament to love, family and faith and her memory will forever be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.  She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
Pallbearers will be Colton Richardson, Mason Owen, Collin Gifford, Thomas Jones, Isaiah Foster and J D DeLoach.
