Patti J. Marshall Barrett, 82, went home to be with the Lord on April 9, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Matthew Marshall and Eloise Daniel Marshall; brothers, Billy Marshall and Mike Marshall. She is survived by her companion of 47 years, Joe Cox; sons, David Barrett and Bill Barrett (Kathy); grandchildren, Tyler Barrett, Addison Hardin, and Destiny Brinkman (Robert); and 4 great-grandchildren.
Patti retired after, 28 years from Alabama Power Company. She enjoyed traveling with Joe, and even went to work for a small travel agency. Patti was a true people person and loved helping others coordinate their travel plans. She raised her sons on her own, and was very strong and independent, in a time when women weren’t expected to work outside the home. Patti loved her family and friends, and they loved her. She will be greatly missed.
The family will receive friends on Friday, April 12, 2024 at Elmwood Chapel Funeral Home from 12pm until 1:45 pm. A graveside service will follow at Oakland Cemetery.
