She baked for school, helped with homework and projects and kept the budgets for the booster club. She was a good cook and her husband's lunches were the envy of his co-workers. Pasty was an excellent seamstress. She made dresses for Easter, piano recitals, drill team and weddings. She enjoyed making curtains and helping decorate her children's homes. She especially loved sewing blankets and toys and embroidering for her grandchildren. Patsy was always there for her husband, children and grandchildren but mostly she made sure they knew they were loved.
