Barbara was born on July 6, 1952 in Lubbock, Texas to Ray and Margaret Wilhite.  Barbara grew up in Lubbock, Texas and graduated high school from Coronado High School.  She enjoyed sports and ran track but her greatest desire at that time was to be able to out run her daddy.  Barbara relocated to Midland in the 80s.  There she raised her children, Kelly and Jamie.  Barbara married Tommy Patterson on March 4, 1988.  Barbara worked in the banking industry and then started a career as an oil and gas accountant.

Barbara had a servant’s heart and helped many local organizations including two of her favorites, Breaking Bread and Addy’s Hope Adoption Agency.  Barbara loved big.  She loved her husband Tommy, she loved her kids, she loved her family and her friends.  Nothing brought her more joy than her grandchildren, Kyndale and Hunter.  Barbara, known as Grammy, was the greatest Grammy!  She travelled to many a cheer competition for Kyndale and was the baseball team Grammy for many of Hunter’s baseball teams over the years.  Barbara’s family and friends would tell you that she was passionate, giving, generous, loving, and stubborn.  Barbara loved the Lord and her greatest desire was for everyone she knew to know Jesus.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband, Tommy Patterson; her children Kelly Franklin of Midland and Jamie (husband Jason) Poe of Midland; her step-daughter, Jennifer (husband Ivan) Williams of North Dakota and her daughter Dixie Posey; her grandchildren Kyndale Poe and Hunter Poe.  She is also survived by her brother Terry (wife Kathye) Wilhite of Hawley and Belinda Jackson of Lubbock.  Barbara is also survived by her many sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends she considered family.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Margaret Wilhite and her little brother, Timmy Lynn Wilhite as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

The family would like to express their gratitude towards all the family, friends, and Living Way Foursquare Church for their outpour of love and support during this time.
