Patricia Elizabeth Ervin

Patricia was born April 13, 1936, to James Riley and Gladys (Brown) Johnson, in Wheelersburg, Ohio. She attended Rio Grande College and earned her teaching degree, where she met Gary Wray Ervin. They were married August 18, 1957. They had two sons, Thomas (Lisa) and Timothy (Joyce). They later moved to Columbus, Ohio, where Patty retired from the Columbus City Schools after 30 years. She loved spending their summers boating and fishing on Lake Erie with family and friends, and loved escaping the cold Ohio winters to their home in Florida (and later Texas).

She is survived by her sons and their wives; her older brother, Kenneth; grandchildren Katie (Jon) Moerdyk, Tim (Chelsea), Taylor (Haden) Johnson, and Connor (Carling); great-granddaughter, Addie; and numerous neighbors and friends from church.
