Just learned of Patsy's passing, my deepest sympathies to her family. I lost touch with Patsy over the years but I thought of her often. She touched so many lives in such a positive way, her kindness and compassion will be missed greatly. It's rare that we find a friend like Patsy, she was such a blessing in my life. I'm saddened to know that there will be such a void in the hearts of so many without her, yet I know that she is with the Lord and no doubt taking care of the Angels. Thank you dear friend, my life and so many other's was made better by knowing you.

One of the sweetest hearts ever. Always so kind and loving. Her favorite topic of conversation - her Joseph. She raised a good man in him. This old world will not be the same without her. She is with the Lord and will watch over Mark and Joseph from the best view with the best company. Fly high and give my Brandy a hug and a kiss for me. Love, prayers and peace to Mark and Joseph.

Although we weren't in touch for many years, Patsy has been and always will be a treasured part of my life. Her beautiful smile, her spunkiness and sense of humor, her caring personality and her eagerness to go fishing at five o'clock in the morning are memories that have enriched my life through the years.
God bless you, Patsy.
God bless your wonderful family.

I am saddened at the passing of Patsy. She has been such a good, sweet, practical and wonderful friend over the years. We met at new employee orientation where she said I looked lost and could she help me. Patsy has been my compass for over 28 years. We have laughed, cried, cut up and adventured together. Patsy lived her life to the fullest. I have so many shared experiences that I cannot name them all. She cared about everyone. I miss her. Mark, Joseph, Pam and Amy, I pray for your comfort and peace.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Praying for you during this difficult time. Our hearts are heavy for you. If we could describe Patsy with one word, it would be "mother" because that is what she was to so many at TSYS. She wrapped those loving arms around our children and grandchildren just like she had carried them herself. Those beautiful dark eyes of hers would light up with joy every time she greeted them.
However, it wasn't just about the children. Patsy had a way of mothering over us all whether advising about a tooth ache or comforting a heart ache, she touched many lives and hearts.
Patsy was the most respected and driven worker. She didn't quit until she resolved the issue, by gosh!
She was also an encourager, and a great friend. It didn't matter how long she had known you, Patsy treated each of us like she had known and loved us all of her life.
We will miss Patsy's spunk and quick wittiness that always surfaced just in the nick of time. If she didn't tease you, your paths must have never crossed!
Most of all, we will miss her smile. Until we meet again miss Patsy. We love you, Tina and Blake Keeble. ❤

Words cannot express the sorrow and pain I feel for the loss of my dear friend. For almost a span of 30 years we have laughed, cried, been neighbors for 10 years, pregnant at the same time, traveled together and so many other life experiences. What a true friend and who else could I cut up and be sassy with but Patsy. I loved this women and her family like they were my own. Over the past four months I put the sassiness aside and told her I loved her and kissed her goodbye with each visit and cherished every moment. I love you Patsy...I miss you........
