Patsy Jackson Sommer, 86, a 12-year resident of the Seven Lakes Country Club in Palm Springs, passed away in her sleep at Eisenhower Medical Center from heart failure after a brief illness on Thursday, January 28, 2016.

Patsy was born in Tiptonville, Tennessee on August 5, 1929. Vivacious and charming, Patsy retained much pride in her southern heritage and often regaled her many friends with stories of her childhood in small town Tennessee. A fashion model in her youth, Patsy was also a skilled make-up artist and assisted her husband in his professional career in commercial advertising.

Patsy is survived by her beloved husband, Robert Sommer, with whom she enjoyed 37 years of marriage. The couple resided for many years at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California before retiring to Palm Springs. Additional survivors include Patsy's two daughters from a prior marriage, Patrice Goebel and Mindy Marinos, stepdaughters, Heidi Cudahy and Patty Cooper as well as numerous grandchildren. Also surviving is Patsy's sister in Tennessee, Sonja English. Services will be held in Tiptonville and burial will be in the Jackson family plot in that city.

Oh beautiful Patsy! We met in the Mizell Fit after 50 class with your husband Rob. Patsy will always be remembered as a lovely, wonderful, attractive lady with a great sense of humor...and now is with the angels in heaven!

Missing you, dear Patsy. Heaven must be so happy to have you there. You were a very special part of our lives.
