Patsy’s journey began in the small town of Haskell, Texas, where she was raised with love and care. Patsy displayed a strong work ethic and a determination to succeed. She pursued her education with college credit, seizing every opportunity to expand her knowledge. Though she did not obtain a degree, Patsy’s thirst for knowledge never wavered. Her tenacity and lifelong love for learning were qualities that defined her.

As a property manager, Patsy found her calling. She devoted herself to managing and caring for various properties, ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of those who entrusted their homes and businesses to her. Her attention to detail, reliability, and warm demeanor made her not only an exceptional professional but also a trusted friend to many.

Patsy’s impact on her community reached far beyond her professional pursuits. She was a member of Crossroads Baptist Church of the Woodlands and was involved in the Hospital Auxiliary in Odessa, Texas. She possessed an unwavering spirit of compassion and kindness, always offering a helping hand to those in need. Whether it was lending a listening ear, offering sage advice, or gathering resources for those facing difficulties, she touched the lives of many with her generosity. Patsy’s legacy of selflessness and empathy will continue to inspire us.

Away from work, Patsy cherished spending time with her loved ones. Family was at the heart of her universe, and she reveled in creating lasting memories with them. Whether it was gathering around the dinner table, sharing stories and laughter, or embarking on joyful adventures, Patsy cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and extended family.
