Patricia Marlene Summers

Born 22 February 1947, Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania. Born to eternal life 10 August 2019, Old Hickory, Tennessee.

Patricia is the second daughter of the Reverends John and Ferne Kuhn who preceded her to heaven along with her oldest son, James Shon Harden and oldest sister, Judy Lou Glasgow.

Patricia received a BA in Education from Trevecca Nazarene University, Masters Degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, California, PA and Edinboro University. She did her Doctoral Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Patricia devoted her professional life to being a teacher and principal.

In addition to her husband, William, she is survived by her siblings John Glenn (Susan) Kuhn, Hope (Brett) Valentine, Doris Davis and Kathy Wheeler. Children: William Shane (Kate) Harden, Patricia Dawn (Johnathan) Crumpton. Step Children: Michael (Marian) Summers, Mark (Barbara) Summers, Daughter-in-law Sandy (Matt) Cashion. Grandchildren: Gabriel, Isaac and Eden Harden, Victoria (Frank Traughber), Alexandria, Colby and Zachary Crumpton. Step Grandchildren: Crystal (Zach) Rhome, Matthew Summers, Christine and Kevin Summers. In addition she has three great grandchildren: Roxy Rose Traughber, and Josiah and Elijah Rhome. Patricia was a mentor mother to many and developed a mother daughter relationship with Nallely (Silvestre) Rodriguez and was a Mimi to Junior, Manuel, Berenice, Nataly, and Marely. In addition she has many nieces and nephews.

Those are the facts; the woman behind them is indescribable, unparallelled...a passionate lover of Jesus, His church, her family and friends. She was the epitome of hospitality, always wanting to feed anyone who came through the door. She loved her home and her yard as each season brought another round of flowers for her to enjoy… She loved her creator and His creation. Patricia was continually attempting to connect people and restore relationships. She lived to lead people to Jesus through her unconditional love.

For those whose privilege it was to know and love her, there will only be a release from grief when we are reunited with her in the presence of the Lord. That is our hope as believers in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As an alternative to flowers a contribution to Nazarene Missions International via the Old Hickory Church of the Nazarene, would be appreciated.
