Patti Louise Denton, formerly Myers, of Maryville, went to be with her Lord and Savior on the morning of November 4, 2024. She was surrounded by her children, siblings, nieces, and nephews as she entered the gates of Heaven. With a sweet reunion with her precious Timmy, after five months apart; her mother, Martha; and her sister, Brenda. Patti was also known as "Mobaw" to her three precious granddaughters, Tessa, Makenna, and Larston. She loved her grandbabies dearly and was always so proud to show them off whenever she could. She also had two fur babies, Iris and Pearl, whom she loved very much.

Patti poured her heart and soul into her family and her faith. Anyone who knew her knew how deeply she valued both family and the love of Christ. She never met a stranger and always opened her home to all those in need. She was a member of Madison Avenue Baptist Church for many years. Patti loved her church family dearly and was grateful for the unconditional love and support she received from its members through the years.

She was preceded in death by her love of 48 years, Timothy Denton; her father, Gilbert Ray Myers; her loving mother, Martha Myers; her sister, Brenda Talbott; her nephew, Jaison Myers; and her great-nephew, Caleb Radford.

Patti is survived by her two children and their spouses, Taylor and Amanda Denton, and Cate and Joseph Cascarella; three grandchildren; four siblings, Betty Calkin, Debbie McAmis, Donna Harbin, and Michael Myers; as well as their spouses and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
