My heartfelt condolences to Beth Ann, Diane and Suzanne. My heart is heavy having lost Mr. Williams a few years back and now Mrs. Williams. I will forever hold them close to my heart and cherish all the many years we had together from the time they hired me to work in Mr. Williams law office through the many years as District Attorney. Mrs. Williams, as I knew her, cause I never called her Patsy, taught me to to be a secretary. They hired me when I was still a senior in High School. We shared many wonderful years together and I often think back on all those memories. I will miss them both. Adelita

Patsy's wonderful nature is a beautiful gift that she shared with all. It manifests her spirit in those who knew her and continues to shine through family and friends. As an in law (or outlaw ?) I am proud to carry the Tipps moniker and to be a member of this family. My love and respect for her is eternal, and condolences to the immediate family are sent with Prayers, Love and continued Blessings.

Girls, I am so sorry to read of your mom's passing. Your dad, mom, and I went on many double dates during our high school days in Ardmore. I'll always remember the good times we had growing up together. RIP
