My sincere condolences and sympathy to Kenny, D'Ann, David and extended family. I was shocked to hear of her passing, as I had seen her last at my mother's graveside service...coming all the way to O'Donnell to pay her respects to her aunt, who was my mother. Patricia left a legacy for all who knew her...a legacy of kindness, friendship, and love for her Lord and her family. She will be sorely missed. Thoughts and prayers to those of you who knew her best...it goes without saying that she was dearly loved and will not be forgotten. Sincerely, Janice McWhorter (cousin) Uvalde, TX

She was one of my favorite family members to catch up with and visit. She was a sweetheart and will be missed. May the Lord be with you at this difficult time, this is not goodby just so long we will see her again one day. God Bless

I already miss you , mom

Goodbye sweet lady. Rest easy. You were always the nicest thing. Never heard you say anything bad about anyone. Always treated me like an old friend. But it's time for you to rest now. We'll be seeing you soon.

So sorry to hear this. Patricia and I were great friends in high school and had kept in touch for all these years. Had talked to Patricia about 2 weeks ago. This was a shocker to me. Patricia will be missed dearly.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Patricia was the sweetest lady always a smile on her face and a nice word to say. Prayers for the family.

Patricia was one of the sweetest souls I have ever known. I know she is rejoicing with the Lord!

I was very saddened to hear that Patricia has passed. She has been a dear friend for many years including our time in school at Ackerly. I know she knew our Lord Jesus and had many welcoming her to Heaven. May our Heavenly Father give comfort to each of her loved ones in all the days ahead as only He can give. Love to all. Dorothy Baker Rogers
