Thomas & Patsy Pate will always be missed in our family and circle of friends
at Fairbanks Baptist Church where they both served under our ministry. They were always a family that put God first. Patsy was a great servant of the Lord in every category of Church Ministry. She was there when there was
a need, a work to be done, or a service to attend. When there was a funeral, she was on the front lines meeting the families needs and comforting them.

Thomas Pate was an an excellent Teacher, Deacon, Trustee and He always met the needs of the Staff when he had an opportunity to do do. He was a great Soul Winner for the Lord.

Patsy and Thomas are together again in Heaven and they will be missed by alll the churches they served. THE WERE SERVANTS OF THE LORD!! Pastor Glynn Little, Fairbanks Baptist Church

Patsy will be missed by your Southmont family. She was admired for her courage to move and start a new life. And admired for her obvious faith in Jesus Christ.

Although we can't see your sweet face, you remain in our hearts. We miss you so much Meme. You blessed our family in so many ways. Trying to teach me how to sew and sharing your famous recipes with me (I promise, I will always remember to add sweetener).
Knowing you are back in our Savior's arms helps ease my sadness. As does knowing I will see you again.
