Preceding her in death is her husband of thirty-two years, David R. Fowler. Patsy also had four brothers that ran the race before her; Earl Brooks Jr, James Brooks, Dallas Locklear, and Vardell Locklear.

Patsy was known as a hard worker. She started out on a sharecropping farm, before retiring from Abbott laboratories, of which she was very proud. Patsy loved baking. One of her sons-in-law said, “her cakes were so good that they would make you cry.”

Patsy loved Mt Elim Baptist Church. She especially loved serving as an usher with her friend Marje Dial.

Patsy left behind a beautiful family whom she loved very much: three daughters and three sons-in-law, Robin (Adrian), Lisa (Johnny), and Terisa (Michael). She also has seven grandchildren who will miss their Grandma: Kyle, Josh, Jeremy (Brittany), Matt, Arron, Ashleigh, and Samantha (Jason). Along with those listed, God granted Patsy the pleasure of being a great grandma to Lay’la, Livia, Avery, soon to be baby David Levi, and little Bently.

Patsy is also survived by three brothers, Scotty (Susan), Ricky, and Jimmy Dean (Brenda); five sisters, Besie, Lexi, Grace, Clutes, and Gail. Along with these, Patsy had one Aunt, Queen Ester, two uncles, H.B. and Ervin, who were recognized as her sister and brothers; and two sisters in law, Peggy and Carolyn. She had many cousins and friends who will miss her dearly.

Special acknowledgements to: Olivia, Di, Dee, and her CNA Megan L who have made coming to this point in our lives easier to bare because of their love and kindness.
