Patsy Morton Sharpnack, 86 of Big Spring, passed away on Monday, January 11, 2021 at Scenic Mountain Hospital. Patsy was born on June 5, 1934 in Wichita Falls, Texas to R.B. Morton and Lunie May Blackwell. She moved to Big Spring in 1951 and graduated from Big Spring High School in 1952.

Patsy was a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who loved her family, friends and her cats. Patsy’s personality was bigger than life and she enjoyed driving around in her bright red convertible (with a license plate that said her name, in case you already didn’t know who she was) and playing golfing. Her zest for life was infectious and her smile lit up the room.

When she turned 4, her sisters introduced her to roller skating and she took to it right away. She began performing on roller skates at age 5 in Lubbock and continued until she was in her twenties. After she graduated from high school, she remained single until 1958 and had several positions as a stenographer. She had a brief marriage to Jim Wade and had two children (Kirk and Kim).

In 1974, Patsy met Joe Sharpnack at the VA Medical Center Hospital, where they both worked. Joe joined the V.A. bowling league that Patsy was on and they became really good friends. She married Joe in Coahoma, Texas on December 17, 1977 and they were married for 43 years and resided in Big Spring. Joe and Patsy had a great marriage and enjoyed golfing, dancing and bowling together.

Patsy worked at the VA Hospital for 34 years and retired in 2004. Over the years she moonlighted, selling Tupperware, jewelry and worked at a bowling alley at night and also worked at the YMCA after her retirement.

Patsy is survived by her husband, Joe Sharpnack; son, Kirk Wade (Theresa Rodriguez); step-son, Rockie Sharpnack (Anita); grandsons, Kelly Wade (TJ), Tyler Wade; granddaughters, Shay Wasson (Chase), Kenzie Rogers, Jeslie Rodriguez; great grandsons, Rylan Wade, Cal Wasson, Cash Wasson; great granddaughters; Reese Wade. Also left nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was proceeded in death by her parents; daughter, Kim Wade; her brothers, Sonny Morton, Jimmy Morton, Donald Morton Bobbie Morton; sisters, Johnnie Bledsoe, Susie Morton and Janie Morton.

The family wished to express their deepest gratitude to the medical staff at Scenic Mountain Hospital, especially those in the ICU Unit. We are eternally grateful for the kindness and compassion you showed Patsy.

Friends may pay their respects anytime between 8:30AM-9:00PM Thursday, January 14, 2021 at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home in Big Spring, Texas. Funeral service will be held at 10:00AM, Friday, January 15, 2021 at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Rosewood Chapel. Interment will follow at Resthaven Memorial Park in Midland, Texas.

So sorry to hear of our dear Patsy's passing, class reunions will not be the same without her glowing smile. I enjoyed her most of my life in church, school, bowling, class reunions. Rest in Peace!

We met Pasty when we started working at the VA. Pasty was one of the nicest person working there. She was a beautiful lady. Always dressed so nice. She came to visit us and we would talk about when the VA was so different. and remember all the good times we had there. We will miss you at the Herald. We would go by and get the paper and there she was in her red car before she wreck it. I remember a picture she had at her office with either Tom Jones or Elvis. May you Rest in Peace my friend. Condolences to Joe and the Family.

I want to offer you my condolences. Patsy was my grandfather's niece. My grandfather was James Walter (Pete) Morton, Patsy's father R.B.'s little brother. Patsy and I connected while research Morton family history. She continued to send me emails and my daughter Amber was in contact with her through facebook. I loved getting her emails. I wanted the family to know that Patsy touched the lives of many more people than she can ever imagine. I have her information and obituary loaded into my ancestry database, so she will always be remembered on our side of the family. On behalf of my grandfather and myself, I wish you comfort and sympathy. Cheryl Morton Johnson

I am so sorry for the loss of Patsy. I worked with her at the VA and she always had a smile on her face, and was willing to help everyone. I'd see her once in awhile driving around town. Blessings and peace to you all.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
