Patsy was born August 2, 1939 in Colbert, Oklahoma to the late Johnny B. Brown and Evie Jane May Brown.

She graduated from Electra High School in 1957. Patsy worked for Electra Independent School District as an Administrative Assistant in the Administration Office, retiring after thirty-five years.

Patsy married Robert Lee “Bob” Canafax on December 26, 1988 in Electra, Texas. He preceded her in death on August 26, 2002.

Yardwork, gardening and crocheting were her favorite things to do when she was not working. Patsy was a great cook, especially making an excellent potato salad which several family members often requested over a birthday cake.

She was always kind to anyone she encountered. Patsy’s sweet and loving spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

Survivors include her son, Jamey Pulliam of Electra; one brother, Dr. Don Greenway and wife, Shirley of Abilene; one sister-in-law, Glenda Greenway of Abilene; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was also preceded in death by one brother, Bo Greenway; and a sister-in-law, Bernice Greenway.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to Electra High School Alumni Association, P.O. Box 1129, Electra, Texas 76360, the Humane Society, or any charity supporting breast cancer.
