She was a devoted grandmother to Amanda Hassan, Baker Hassan IV (Kaci), Bruce Roussell III (Brianna), Tyler Miller, Justin Roussell, Reece Miller, and great-grandmother to Malakai, Aiden, Makenzie, Rory, and Lincoln. She was a faithful member of St. Gabriel Church for 45 years where she cherished her church community. Patricia had tremendous love for her family and friends.
