Patricia Mallon Grant

Patricia Mallon Grant, born on Valentine’s Day February 14, 1990, passed away on November 24, 2009. Patricia was enrolled at South Plains College in Lubbock, Texas where she loved living with her sister Kelly and intended to join her next semester at Texas Tech as a Red Raider. Inspired by working for Disney Radio during high school, at college she focused on journalism and communications. Patricia had a great passion for music and was a proud member of the fan clubs for Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana, and The Jonas Brothers. She loved all types of music. Like her mother Peggy Sue, she was gifted as an artist and loved drawing and decorating almost anything. Her cell phone decorations are legendary among her friends. Patricia was an independent thinker who was not afraid to chart her own course on any topic, including religion. Her strong religious beliefs caused her to change from a public high school to Houston Christian High School where she graduated in 2008. Patricia is survived by her parents Michael and Peggy Sue Grant; brother Danny Grant; sister Kelly Grant; paternal grandmother Patricia Grant; aunts and uncles Dan and Mona Grant, Patrick Grant, Mary Grant, Janie Fleming, James and Amy Walsh; Rick and Pat Gilleland; and she had a special bond with her aunt Becky Grant. She is survived by numerous beloved cousins. She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather Henry L. Grant, and her maternal grandparents James and T.K. McDaniel. A memorial service will be held at All Saints Catholic Church located at 201 E. 10th Street in Houston on Saturday November 28 at 11 o’clock in the morning. Family members will attend a burial service at noon at Glenwood Cemetery. All friends are invited to a reception at the family home of Mike and Peggy Sue Grant at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be given in Patricia Mallon’s memory to VH1 Save the Music Foundation (http://www.vh1savethemusic.com/). My life goes on in endless songAbove earth’s lamentationsI hear the real, though far-off hymnThat hails a new creation.
