Patricia Carr

PATRICIA CARR was welcomed home into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during the early morning hours of September 25th. To anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her, she was magic personified. Beautiful both inside and out, Patricia was the true definition of a lady. She was steadfast in her love for her family and unwavering in her earthly mission as a Christian warrior. Patricia understood the importance of treasuring and nurturing life's intangible gifts. She embraced moments of happiness as well as heartache with total class, dignity and grace. To her family, she was the rock that kept them grounded and the glue that held them together. Utter selflessness and dedication to her family, she set the bar high and left behind a priceless example. In her youth, Patricia was a Robert E. Lee Baytown Brigadier where she and best friend Carolyn Wind were known as "the two cool kitties from Baytown City." She attended college at the University of Houston, and married football star Paul H. Carr. Shortly after becoming Mrs. Carr, she and her family moved to San Jose, California where her husband played pro-ball for the San Francisco 49ers. After residing in California for 11 years, they returned to Houston, Texas. Back in Texas, Pat permanently resided in the Cy-Fair area. Relentless in her profession of sales at Production Facilities Equipment Company, she never took no for an answer. She was employed by her two sons in sales and worked until being hospitalized. Prior to her sales position she worked for Tenneco Oil. Patricia was preceded in death by her parents William E. and Ada Mae Yeager-Harlan and her son Matthew Carr. She is survived by her brother William E.
