Patricia Ann Shaper Gandy passed away peacefully on September 13, 2023 at her home in Conroe, Texas. Patricia was born in Natchez, MS on August 14, 1938. She graduated from Taylor High School and was a proud Duck. She attended North Texas University where she met the love of her life, J.B. on a Valentine's Day blind date. Patricia worked in several industries, ranging from The Texas Highway Dept, Fish Engineering and Construction, Cities Service Oil Company, and various management positions at Gandy Companies. She had a passion for gardening and spent her spare time feeding animals and observing butterflies.

Patricia was a woman of God and instilled this commitment to faith throughout her family. Her dedication to her family was second to none and her love was unconditional. She was the first to congratulate you on a good day and there with a warm embrace on the difficult ones.
