Patsy RANEY Obituary

RANEY, Patsy Flanary "Pat" Patsy (Pat) Flanary Raney of Sandy Springs, GA died Thursday, April 18, 2019 in her home leaving a 92 year legacy of broadening smiles, filling hearts, and making everyone feel important.

Pat was such a lovely person. We lived across the street from her and Gus for a short time, but they were both so kind and friendly to us every time we talked with them. I remember them both coming outside to watch the kids parade down the street on the 4th of July, with big smiles on their faces. My daughter loved to go to her house to sell Girl Scout cookies and she always greeted her so warmly and made her feel so special. Our hearts go out to your family as your grieve the loss of such a beautiful person. Please know you all will be in our prayers.
