Still hard to believe Pat is no longer  with us. I still remember that smile and wink and especially that laugh.

I have such fond memories of Pat at Lafayette High School.  She was a lovely, caring person and I am honored to have known her.

Was saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. I was honored to serve along side her when I was KY WMU’s president. She was always a delight to be around and served our Lord faithfully. I’m praying you will cherish the memories of a life well lived. May you feel the comfort of our Father in a mighty way. 
Blessings, 
Linda Cooper, 
President WMU, SBC

Pat was a life long friend for more that six decades.   She had a beautiful soul, magnetic personality and a heart full of laughter.  I miss her so much and am grateful she was my friend for so long.  Her vibrant spirit will be missed by all of us.  Perry,  I wish you and all other family members peace and comfort in the loss of your love one.

How can you begin to describe Pat? There just aren’t enough words. A CHARACTER to say the least! A dear childhood friend but better known as family. Such a privilege to have had her and her family in our lives. I rejoice in her home going and pray for her family in the loss. How wonderful to know there’s a reunion yet to come in heaven. 

Perry,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was my roommate when the York High School Stage Band went to Switzerland in 1971. What a great time we had. She was so full of life! She and Allan seemed, at that time, to be polar opposites, but they were perfect together.  Her laugh, love of life, and passion for people will be missed. I know that she and your Dad are together and happy again. I look forward to a reunion with them one day.

Pat was such a treasure.  Mike and I had the blessing of staying in the home of Pat & Alan during one of our visits to Walnut Hill.  We immediately hit it off, and we felt we had known one another for years.  They were a beautiful couple.  It brings sadness to my heart to know I won't see her when I visit again.  My prayers for Pat's family and many friends, of whom I count myself as one. 

National WMU was privileged to have Pat on our board during her tenure as Virginia WMU president. Pat served Virginia well and brought her many skills to our national WMU ,
board. She formed strong friendships during those four years with board members who remember her for her wit, good ideas, and hard work.
My condolences to Pat's family and friends,
Debby Akerman
WMU,SBC Emerita President,  2010 -15

To Pat's loved ones ❤  To be absent from this place is to be present with the Lord 🙏♥️ Pat was a light in our world. She will be missed ...

How sad I am to hear of Pat’s passing. I served with her as vice-presidents of National WMU. We had such fun times together. We never knew what Pat was going to come up with. I loved her passion for the Lord and how she used her sense of humor to lead others to Christ. I know we will miss her, but also know she is in Heaven, probably  with a cute hat on and laughing.

Perry, I want you to know how sorry I am about your mom.  She was such a breath of fresh air wherever she was.  Her giggle, humor, and energy was unbelievable.  She and I were cheerleaders together and I spent many overnights at her house, most of them unforgettable.   She will be missed by so many.  She is at peace with Alan and family.

In loving memory of a dear sister in Christ!  Pat's service to the Woman's Missionary Union of Virginia as the past president will echo through the history of WMUV for generations to come.

Leaving her fingerprint in her outreach with international students, Acteens, and with trafficked and hurting women her works and witness do follow her.

I will always cherish our time in Korea.  Pat's gift of humor brought us so much joy!!  Now she is joined with Alan and in the arms of Jesus throughout eternity.

My prayers are with Perry and those who were closest to her.

Executive Director/Treasurer

My condolences to Perry  and all of Pat's family.  Pat will be remembered by many people for many reasons--her laugh, her wink, the way she twisted her hair, her outgoing personality, and for me, her friendship in high school and after. She will be missed at our girl get -togethers and reunions. Gone too soon.

Perry, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom.  Pat was one of my best friends in high school.  She was a beautiful, funny,  and energetic person who had a fantastic personality, a strong faith in God,  and a heart of gold.  I will miss her tremendously.  I am praying God will comfort you and your family and give you peace during this difficult time.
