Patsy Harper dedicated over 40 years of her life to nursing, embodying the true spirit of a caregiver, compassionate, steady, and always ready with a reassuring smile. Her positivity was contagious, and her laughter could brighten even the hardest days.
Patsy’s heart belonged to her family. She was a devoted grandmother who lit up when speaking of her grandchildren and beamed with pride over her great-grandchildren. Her love was unwavering, her presence a constant source of comfort and joy.
She was a loyal and faithful wife to her beloved husband, Al Harper, who preceded her in passing not long ago. Their bond was filled with love, laughter, and deep companionship that touched everyone around them.
