Patricia LaForce Obituary
Patricia A. LaForce, a beloved housewife and devoted matriarch, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on December 27, 1944, in Greenbrier, West Virginia, Patricia dedicated her life to caring for her family, pouring her love and energy into nurturing each and every member.
Patricia’s proudest accomplishments were her children and grandchildren, reflecting a life rich with love and a commitment to family. She is survived by her five sons: Nyle Bruce LaForce Jr., Roland D. LaForce, Scott LaForce, Billy LaForce, and Thomas LaForce. Each son carries forward the values instilled by their loving mother.
As a grandmother to many, and a great grandmother to an abundance of grandchildren too numerous to list, Patricia's spirit will remain alive in the hearts of all those whose lives she touched. Her family has always been her greatest treasure, and her legacy will continue through the love she so generously gave.
Patricia was preceded in death by her loving husband, Nyle LaForce; and parents, Olive B. Hart and Jennings E. Hart, who played foundational roles in her early life. Their influence remained with her as she nurtured her own family, embodying the principles of compassion and love that resonate deeply within her lineage.
The world will remember Patricia A. LaForce for her unwavering devotion to family, her caring nature, and the many lives she enriched during her time on this earth. Her legacy will be carried on by her loved ones, who will forever hold her memory dear.
