It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, Patricia Carolyn Stepp McCarson, at the age of 78. After a courageous battle with Alzheimer's, she entered eternity to reunite with our father, her beloved husband of 50 years, Jimmy Andrew McCarson. She was also preceded in death by her parents Charles Jefferson Stepp and Eufaula Osteen Stepp along with her best friend and sister, Barbara Stepp Ward.

Our mother was the very essence of grace-a true Southern Belle with a heart full of kindness, faith, and unconditional love. She lived her life wrapped in shades of pink, her favorite color, which reflected the warmth and softness of her spirit. Known for her infectious smile, welcoming presence, and genuine heart, she was adored by everyone who had the privilege to know her.

As a devout Christian, she walked closely with Jesus and never wavered in her faith. Her strength, compassion, and quiet dignity were constant reminders of the deep well of grace from which she lived. She was a dedicated member of First Baptist Church of Hendersonville and the Lula Mae Briggs Sunday School class of which both were very dear to her heart. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing she knew Jesus Christ as her savior. Although we will miss her, we rejoice in the promise that we will see her again!

Patricia's legacy continues through her loving daughters, Tracy M. Bari and Cyndi & Toby Johnson, and her cherished grandchildren, Julia & Jacob Bari, as well as her great grandson, Remi Bari who will forever hold her memory in their hearts.

A funeral service in her honor will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, officiated by Pastor Steve Scoggins. The family will receive friends and family prior to the service starting at 10:00 am. Following the service, Patricia will be laid to rest at Shepherd Memorial Park.

Attendees are asked to wear a shade of pink in celebration of Pat's life.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ride to End ALZ - http://act.alz.org/goto/PatMcCarson.

I have so many great memories of the old McCarson house and Pat & Jim's wonderful hospitality over the years. Summers in Hendersonville at grandma's house (Martha) with visits to Pat & Jim's house and hanging out with my cousins Cyndi and Tracy were a wonderful part of childhood and young adulthood. All my love!

Pat was such a sweet, beautiful soul. I was very honored to get to know her and help care for her the last few years. Pat always meet her illness with such grace and dignity. I will miss her but I know she is in heaven with her beloved husband dancing up a storm. Until we meet again my friend, love Karen.

Patricia was a wonderful hostess welcoming family and friends into her home. God gifted her with many talents in cooking, sewing, sports and she would go out of her way to help her children and family. We are thankful for all the many years of cherished memories together. Love always.
