Patsy was born to the late Clifton Moody and the late Blanche DeFreece Moody on November 10, 1940 in Sullivan County, TN. On November 6, 1964 Patsy married her best friend and love of her life, Mr. Thomas Wayne Russell, and after 38 years of a beautiful marriage, he preceded her in death on September 7, 2003. Patsy loved sewing and most of all, being a mother and grandmother. Throughout her life she sewed threads of love and compassion within her family; and these threads will never unravel as they continue on in the lives of her family.
Patsy was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband, Thomas; and two brothers, Roy Moody and Randall Moody. Left to cherish her memories and continue her legacy are her two daughters, Kim Carico and husband Doug, and Kristy Lingerfelt and husband Larry; five grandchildren, Brittany McClure and husband Jeremy, Blake Lingerfelt and wife Morgan, Mercedes Rhoten and husband Alex Thurston, Weldon Carico, and Travis Carico; three brothers, Eddie Moody and wife Louise, Randy Moody and wife Phyllis, and Tim Moody and wife Marie; four sisters, Wanda Freet, Faye Trent and husband Ed, Leta Dingus and husband Danny, and Carolyn Browder and husband Wayne; and her mother-in-law, Grace Russell.
The family would like to send a special “thank you” to the staff at Brookdale Colonial Heights.
