Patricia married her beloved Russell Reid McCool on July 19, 1958, at the Hazen Methodist Church. He preceded her in death. For more than 51 years, the couple lived a life of love and companionship as they raised their children together.

Patricia was a member of the United Methodist Church in Summerville, where she also served as the church treasurer for many years.

Patricia enjoyed baking cookies and bread for family and friends. She played in a card club where she found joy in being social.

Throughout her lifetime, Patricia was a source of joy and comfort to her family. As a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, she cherished moments with her loved ones, always valuing the time they shared together. Patricia will be greatly missed and forever remembered.

In addition to her parents and husband Russell, Patricia was preceded in death by three brothers; James Foulkrod, Larry Foulkrod and Raymond Foulkrod.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, March 10, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at the Carrier Funeral Home, located at 2834 Maplevale Road in Brookville.
