Patsy Munday Obituary

Munday, Patsy (Colvin)
80, of Dewey, Az. passed away on May 7, 2014 at home. Born and raised in Phoenix, graduated from Phoenix Union. Patsy was preceded in death by her beloved son Brent, survived by her loving husband and partner for over 61 years, Scott, Daughter Brenda (Gary) Gifford, Grandson Erin, and Brother Ron (Bonnie) Colvin. Patsy was a remarkable seamstress and artist, painting in oils and designer of jewelry. Patsy and her family spent over 20 summers in Greer Az. working with her Husband Scott and Brother Ron building summer cabins, but it was the stonework including an unbelievable fireplace that were her biggest passion. When time permitted Patsy and Scott spent time fishing, but it was Patsy that always came home with the BIG ONE. After moving to Dewey Patsy and Scott together designed and built several homes, each included some of Patsy's stonework.
