Patricia G. Howard

Patricia was the oldest of three children and developed a strong sense of family from an early age.Her attention to detail led her to a career in medical transcription working with what is now Atrium Health. She had many hobbies including reading books, magazines, catalogs, the Bible, and caring for animals. Her favorite was her little dog, Lacey. She moved to her current home in Matthews, NC in 1975 which allowed her to spend more time with her family and at her home church of New Covenant Baptist Church. She had a friendly personality that will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Patricia is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of over 45 years, William Howard Jr.; and her sister, Jane Garnett.

She is survived by her sons, William Howard III (Manette), Wesley Howard, and Brian Howard (Jennifer); her four grandchildren, Wesley Howard Jr (Dani), Kristy Howard, Ethan Howard (Nikki), and Caroline Williams (Jackson); her brother, James Garnett (Alethea); and many other loving extended family members.
