She married the late John Logan Hada, Jr. on July 5th 1952. He was the center of her life and they had four children, Nancy, Robert, Holly and Jim. Patsy was kind, caring and had a generous and loving soul. She never judged and always had time to listen to you while gently giving you life's advice. In addition to her family Pasty had several dogs over the years, which she loved as well. Her great passion was snorkeling in Belize and was known for her extensive seashell and old bottle collection.She was predeceased by her beloved husband, 'Johnny', in 1994; her daughter Holly in 1998; her parents, Willie and Lucille Williamson, siblings Billy and Jack Williamson; daughter-in-law Darlene, and a large entourage of mostly small and fluffy canines.Patsy is survived by her daughter Nancy Hada (Ronnie Bedre) of Aransas Pass; her grandchildren - Dr. Shelby Sutton Fetouh (Omar) of Dallas and newest great granddaughter Mya; Stacy Sutton (Matt Armstrong) currently of Austin; her son Robert Hada (Carolyn) of Flour Bluff and his children, Patsy's grandchildren, Christi Taft (Nils) and their three boys, Patsy's great grandchildren William, Alex, and Vincent; Chad Hada of Houston, her granddaughter, US Army Captain Maegan Hada of Ft.

She is also survived by her dear sister-in-law Nissa Hada of Flour Bluff; brother-in-law William Hada (Rosalva) of Houston; and daughter #2 Carol Stahlstrom of Portland.Patsy had a special place in her heart for the staff of the 5th Floor at the Holmgreen Center where she lived out the last year and a half of her life after a stroke left her unable to walk and her once ceaseless speech limited. She always had a smile, a laugh, and developed some great one-line zingers ' 'bingo!' Though her body failed her, her mind did not. The family greatly appreciates Odyssey Hospice for their compassionate support in the last few days of Patsy's life.There will be a gathering of family and friends and a celebration of Patsy's life at the Friendship Cemetery in Roganville, Texas at a later date.
