Pat loved the Lord and was a faithful tither unto the Lord. She loved to sing praises to the Lord, full of love. She loved her coffee and a good pan of dressing at Thanksgiving. She was always willing to help anyone in need and give a word of wisdom from the Scriptures.
She loved her husband of 63 years of marriage and they shared many a cup of coffee, whether it was at a table sitting across from each other or around a camp stove fire. They loved and cherished each cup with grateful hearts. She also adored the many other friends and family that came across her path in life.
She loved a great family gathering with food and people. She love to say grace and end it with an Amen. She was a thoughtful, caring and great women of God, who always talked about our need for the Lord. If someone didn't have a Bible she would gift them one in hopes that they would come to know Jesus. She would make sure you had clothes and shoes and were fed if you were around her. She loved celebrating Christmas and Easter with those being her favorite holidays. She loved to laugh and spend time talking and loved swinging in her swing. Her hope, trust, and her peace was always in the Lord.
Pat was a lifelong member of Ingleside Baptist Church, which became Summer Grove Baptist Church.
