She was active in St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Big Spring, Texas and was also an avid member of the West Texas Wing of the Confederate Air Force for many years, being commissioned as a "Lady Colonel" in 1980. She helped organize a World War II type USO Troupe which performed extensively at various air shows across the country. She was a member of The Experimental Aircraft Association and The Eagle Squadron of The Warbirds of America. Patsy loved the ballet, the opera and was an avid bridge player up until 3 years ago. Patsy had a deep love for pets and worried about every single one that was in the shelters. She will be dearly missed by many.
