Patsy Sue Scarborough passed away peacefully into the arms of her Heavenly Father on the evening of January 3, 2024, at the age of 90. Her life on earth was characterized with a servant's heart, love for family, and faithfulness to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Patsy was born on July 27, 1933 in Sulphur Springs, Texas, to Grady Henry Hill and Jewel Leon Chaddick Hill. Patsy had 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

Patsy and her family moved to Plano, Texas where she graduated from Plano High School. She gave her heart to Jesus Christ as a teenager.
