Patsy June Collins Thrift, 79, wife of Thomas "Tom" Edison Thrift, 115 Sunnyview Drive, passed away Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at her home.
A native of Oconee County, she was the daughter of the late William Jess and Pearl Suttles Collins. Mrs. Thrift was a wife, mother, and homemaker. She was a member of Westminster Baptist Church and of the Agnes Morgan Sunday School Class, the Red Hats Club, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the Lazy Daisy Garden Club.
A loving wife of 57 years, a dedicated loving mother, grandmother, and a friend to all who knew her. Her acts of love were performed daily with a quiet strength that was characteristic of her personality and spiritual gifts of generosity, hospitality and administration. She now resides in heaven with her loving heavenly Father. We give praise for her life and example. Her testimony was lived out loud by simple acts done routinely on her life's journey. Proverbs 31:31," Give her reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
