Pat let some of her ambitions be known while she was still in high school. She wanted to get her RN degree, her MRS Degree and her MOM degree in that order.

She was a member of the Little Red RV Club and proud of her membership in the Order of Eastern Star. Pat was a Baptist and believed in her GOD and His Angels and was often heard telling others they should not hold grudges or have hard feelings about wrongs others may do unto you. “Let God take care of them. He will always do a better job than you can ever imagine”, and she really believed this. Her favorite song was “When I Get Where I’m Going”. Visitation will be on Sunday from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted Monday, July 2, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. at the Powell Funeral Home Chapel.
