Patsy Walls Obituary

Patsy Louise (Greer) Walls, 87, of La Fontaine, passed away after suffering a long-time disease on Friday, October 6, 2023. She was born in Russiaville, Indiana, on Friday, May 29, 1936, to Oliver and Phavilla (Eilliott) Greer. On May 20, 1955, she married Dwight L., who survives.

Pat graduated from Western High School and worked at Delco Electronics in Kokomo where she met her husband, Dwight. Pat and Dwight were married for 68 years. She also worked at Sweetser Elementary School for fifteen years. Pat loved gardening and had at one time, over 200 varieties of cacti in her solarium. Even in her last years, she loved gardening and would ride her wheelchair around the yard checking out her flowerbeds for new growth. She had her home surrounded with flower gardens. She loved to travel and had seen all 50 states but did not care to travel to other countries. Pat was a good woman with a good heart. She dearly loved her kids, relatives, and close friends.

Preceding her in death were two half brothers, John and Ralph; half sister, Bessie; brother, Joe of Russiaville; and sister, Martha. Pat outlived all her siblings except for her younger sister, Mary Goldsberry of Galveston. Pat had one daughter, Pam Lester of Marion; sons, Jerry of Swayzee, Greg of Newton, NC, and Brian of Plano, TX. Pat had four grandsons, Kyle Dewitt of Middletown, OH, Bradley Dewitt of Lafontaine, Tyler Walls of Orlando, FL and Quade Walls of Plano, TX. She also had two granddaughters, Amy Heincker of Zionsville and Samantha Wickes of Avon. She also had five great granddaughters, Bailey, Gabriella, Annie, Caroline, and Josephine. She had one great grandson, Calvin.

At Pat's request, there will be no public visitation or funeral service. A graveside service will be held for immediate family only.
