Patricia Lynn Powell, 60, passed away on December 25, 2025, at home under the care of her daughter Sheila Moses in Purcell, Oklahoma.
She is remembered with as warmhearted soul, with a quick laugh and a fierce independence, Patricia lived a life defined by care, resilience, and devotion to family. The youngest of nine children, she carried the lessons of a large, loving family into every room she entered, making strangers feel like friends and turning ordinary days into moments worth remembering.
For many years Patricia devoted herself to serving others in nursing homes, working in laundry, housekeeping, and as a cook. Her work was more than a job; it was an expression of her nurturing spirit and steady compassion. She took pride in making people comfortable, in small acts of kindness that brightened long days for residents and coworkers alike. Her children meant the world to her and she was always by their side.
Patricia loved life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed watching wrestling and football, cooking for her family while jamming to her favorite music, and sharing stories and a cold beer with family and friends. She was a mother who loved fiercely, a friend who showed up, and a presence whose courage and humor left a lasting mark on everyone she touched. She was a strong, independent woman who lived a hard life but always made everything work. She was a hero and role model for her eldest daughter, the protector to her youngest daughter, a teacher and guiding light for her eldest son, and the one who taught love and respect for her youngest son.
Patricia is survived by her children Kamel "Trey" Moses, Sheila Moses Jones, Kelly Moses, and John Kelley Jr. 23 grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren, alson with 6 siblings 3 sisters and 3 brothers. She was preceded in death by her parents Betty and Elmer and her siblings Cleta and Jimmy. Her children will hold a private service to honor her memory and celebrate the life she lived so fully. Patricia's warmth, strength, and loving spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Eulogy:
Patricia taught us how to be both strong and tender. She met life with stubborn courage and an open heart, turning everyday routines into acts of love. We will remember her laughter, the meals she made with care, and the way she made family the center of everything. Her legacy is the kindness she gave freely and the memories she leaves behind.
