Patricia Owens Fordice

Patricia Fordice served as a delegate to the White House Conference on Aging in 2005. It was my honor to serve with her. She was a wonderful lady and a fun dinner partner. Condolences. Dr. Marion Dunn Tutor, Director of Aging Services (Retired)

All of Mississippi feels grief at the loss of our First Lady. Mrs. Fordice will forever be remembered in our hearts and lives for her grace, dignity, unselfish love and service, and that sweet smile. She brightened all of heaven when she walked through the door! May God give each of you all you need to continue on your journey in life.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

To the Fordice Family: Your Mother will always be the "First Lady" of Mississippi. She will be remembered for her dignity, love for her family, and her strong commitment to the State of Mississippi. We are grieving with you; we feel like we have lost a friend. May her memories bring you strength and may God bring you comfort.

Your mom was a very gracious lady. She was a wonderful representative for your family, as well as for the State of Mississippi. She will be sorely missed by all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I was honored to know Mrs Fordice while I worked on the Fordice Campaign as a volunteer in college. She was very gracious and made all who met her feel important.

May God Bless you all
