Patricia Della Margraff, age 72, of Springboro passed away on September 15, 2024. She was born in Dayton on December 3, 1951 to the late Estel and Della Spurlock. In addition to her parents, Patsy is preceded in death by her twin brother, Pat Spurlock and siblings, Mendel Spurlock and Linda Furlong.

She is survived by her loving husband of 38 years, Paul; children, Russell Baker, Angie (Chris) Edwards, Darlene (James) Amnott; grandchildren, Luke (Liz Beeman), Levi, Ryan, Mckayla, Kole, Braylen (Brandon), Kymber, Trace, Mackenzie, Riley, Kendal, Ethan; great-grandchildren, EZ, Abby; siblings, Gary (Dottie) Spurlock, Bobby Spurlock, Kay (Roland) Eldridge and special friends, Sharon and Bev; along with many other family and friends.

As an avid church-goer, God was first and foremost in Patsy's life. She enjoyed spending time in prayer and reading her Bible. Patsy had a fervent and passionate desire to serve Christ, and others, in everything she did, and wanted everyone to know how to be forgiven and get to Heaven.

Throughout her life, Patsy worked in several fields including bus driving, child care, janitorial, and foodservice, but was never afraid of hard work, doing what she could to help support and provide for her family; but she found her true calling in the field of ceramics. Patsy was a professional ceramicist. She educated herself and practiced for 30+ years. She was the founder and owner of Patsy’s Ceramics and was an artist, teacher, and businesswoman who loved her craft. She was a beautiful person on the inside and out who loved everyone she knew, and was loved by everyone who knew her.
