As family and friends would attest, Patsy lived a life for others. She loved crocheting, sewing, growing plants—her specialty being African violets.

Although for nearly half of her life Patsy struggled with a serious auto immune disorder, she never lived as a victim but lived life to its fullest with her beloved husband, Bill.
