Priscilla Long Obituary

Priscilla "Pat" Long, 83, of Germantown, TN, passed away on October 27, 2025. She is survived by her beloved husband Joe of 53 years, one daughter Angela Onley (Bill) of Van Alstyne, TX, one granddaughter Kathryn Overbey (Jarred) of McKinney, Tx, three sisters; Norma Bettis of Des Moines, Iowa, Darlene Meredith of Nixa, Missouri, and LaVaughn Clark of St. Charles, Missouri, a sister-in-law JoAnne Rhea of Memphis, Tennessee, and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, her grandparents, and one niece. During her working career, she held accounting and secretarial positions as well as serving at times in managerial positions. She was most recently a member of Bartlett United Methodist Church, where she served as President of the seniors' group for five years, and as Treasurer of United Methodist Women for four years. Pat was known to her family and friends for her humorous slant on life, which she inherited from her father, and for her creative and artistic abilities, which she inherited from her mother. Memorial contributions may be made to Wesley Senior Ministries, to St. Jude's Childrens' Research Hospital, or to the charity of the donor's choice. Memorial Park Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

We were sisters. That statement alone says there are so many memories, some funny, some of shared pranks, spats, grief. Though we went our separate ways in adulthood, there has always been that bond of being sisters. I miss you, but realize you are no longer suffering here. I´m sure by now you´ve already been welcomed by Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa, David and Sheryl and Pam. Someday I´ll join that joyful reunion, so farewell until we meet again. I´ll always love you.

"With great sadness we learn of the passing of our dear sister. There are so many prescious memories of Pat and the wonderful times we shared. So many family celebrations shared, wonderful trip memories and sister reunions. It's still hard to imagine that she is no longer on this earth, but we will see her someday in heaven and have a wonderful family reunion. I love you dearly, Pat."
