Patricia Ann Brashear, age 70 of Glenwood, joined Jesus for his birthday celebration on Dec 25, 2025. Pat, affectionally known as Mawmaw or Momma Pat by most, was born July 29, 1955, in Arkadelphia AR to Edith Marie McClure and Lonzo Marion Sr. She was predeceased by her Parents, her sister Helen Marion, her brothers Larry Marion and Danny Marion, her son-n-law Allen Vaughn and her husband, Robert Brashear. She was a Baptist by faith and attended Community Bible Baptist Church before her health declined.
Pat had a heart of gold, loved people and was well known everywhere she went. She was quick to make you laugh and could whip up the best peanut butter fudge around. She worked many years as a waitress at Fish Nest and the OK Café where she made many lifelong friends. In her younger years she loved attending Nascar races and traveled all over the US and Canada as a Hot Shot Driver.
Pat is survived by her kids: Angela Vaughn, Brad (Dawn) Caldwell and Jason (Tori) Caldwell all of Glenwood. Her brothers, Lonzo Marion Jr. (Joyce) of Camden, David Marion of Gurdon, Lester Joe McClure (Susan) and John McClure of Arkadelphia and Bobby Marion Kahle (Brett) of Rogers. 11 Grands and 7 Great Grands, along with numerous bonus Grands and a multitude of friends who turned into family.
