A wonderful and sweet lady. She will be missed.
Patsy, you were a loving sister-in-law. I will cherish all the memories of the past 50 or so years. Your nieces as well as your great nieces and nephew will forever remeber their Aunt Patsy.
R.I.P. Patsy.. May God Bless You….You will be Missed….
Patsy was a beautiful soul. We’ve had so much fun with her over the past 5 years. She could light up a room with her beauty and smile. I remember while playing cards, if she would when a big hand, she’d scrape the chips towards her with both hands and say “Come on to Mama”. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family. She will sure be missed.
Patsy will be missed, when I needed somebody to believe in me she did. Thank you.
Patsy was one of the few people I met when I moved to Hendersonville. Patsy was a great neighbor, a good friend, and even tho our lives had taken different directions over the years, I still managed to run into her and have a nice chat. She was a great lady, always had a smile and a hug for me. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.I am the mother to Kim Pace and pastor Chris Pace
Patsy’s picture exudes the Patsy I knew as a strong and compassinate woman with a great sense of humor. She will be sorely missed by Eddie, family and all who had the opportunity to know her. I remember many fine moments with Patsy and Eddie at the American Legion canteen. She not only shot a fine pool game but she was no slouch at shuffleboard either. Sending my sincere sympathy and prayers to Eddie and family.
Wendy and family – thoughts and prayers go out to you. Your mother was such an “Angel” to all that had the honor to know and love her. She is going to be greatly missed.
We will always remember your smile, especially when you would win a hand in cards. You will be dearly missed. We love you.
