Pat loved the Lord, she was saved at the age of 7, and recanted the memory vividly. She was a faithful member of Pilgram Baptist Church for over 30 years. She started attending Franklin Road Baptist Church when she was unable to drive to her home church. In her final days, she would often say, "don't cry for me, I am going to see Jesus."
Pat was a selfless spirit who put her family's needs before her own. She was the caretaker, who always did the right thing, by showing an outpouring of love. Pat was not only a mother, daughter, sister and aunt, she was a delight to those who met her. Her passions, were being a southern lady, laughing and spending time with her girls, embracing the beauty of the moon in the sky, enjoying her tv and movies. She had her favorite movie qoutes, " You is kind, You is Smart, You is important" from The Help, " Hit her, hit her hard... Ouiser Boudreaux" and "you know I love you more than my luggage, both from Steel Magnolis.
Pat was free spirted and concise with her words. She wanted her legacy to be how she impacted the lives of others with kindness and love. Pat was co-owner with her girls of Veda's Flowers and Gifts (a shop named in her mother's honor), which brought her joy.
