Patsy was awesome. I met her through her real estate business, but found her to be more than a realtor. She was great at her job, but more importantly, she was always very kind to me and my family and genuinely cared about people. She will be missed.

Patsy was a shining example of kindness, hard work and determination. She was motivated by a heart to provide, to lead by example while exuding grace. Her family is so blessed to have had her in their lives. A life well lived and well loved. Thank you Patsy you were a positive light for me.
