Patsy Bell Driver, 89, of Yadkinville, NC, went home to be with her Lord and Savior after a short illness. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Jim (Joann) Carter; several brothers and sisters; children, Michael Driver, Ronnie Driver, Jane Thomas, and Bobby Yarboro; granddaughter, Brandi Thomas; grandson-in-law, Keith Queen; and special friend, Gray Shore. Surviving are her children, Jimmy (April) Yarboro, Martha Yarboro, and Tim (Kim) Driver; son-in-law, Randy Thomas; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and her canine, Cujo. She graduated from West Yadkin High School. Patsy was of the Christian faith. She was a caregiver for most of her adult life, but most of all she loved her family and friends. The family would like to thank Forsyth Hospital ICU 1st, 3rd, and 8th floors, and also thank Mountain Valley Hospice for the care given to her. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in the spring. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Gentry Family Funeral Service to help with the final expenses.
