She had a vibrant personality, characterized by her sweet disposition, and never spoke ill of anyone, always choosing to see the best in those around her. Her infectious spirit extended beyond her family; she was deeply involved in her church community, reflecting her unwavering faith.

In addition to being a devoted family member and beloved friend, Patsy had a multitude of passions.
