My Aunt Patsy was one of the most amazing women I've ever known. I was so very fortunate to have her as my aunt. She had a since of humorthat could bring light to just about any room. She was an amazing mother to my cousins Rick & Randy. I have very fond memories of getting to visit them during family holidays, going to church together & several summertime visits where I'd get to stay with them & my grandparents for a few weeks. Aunt Patsy was fun to talk to & share stories with. It was also a good time getting to cook with her & my grandma Stailey. We shared a passion for eearing rings on just abiut every finger! She gifted my my very first spoon ring too & I still have it! She always filled my heart & soul with joy when I was able to share time & space with her. Her compassionate spirit glowed in everything ths did. When I started my own business, she was right there answering as many questions I had & chock full of advice for me. She was a beautiful woman, an amazing mothore & wife & an awesomelygood aunt. She will always reside in my heart & memories along with my Uncle Richard. It eases my pain & sorrow a little bit knowing that her husband, daughter & parents were there to greet her as her soul crossed into Heaven. I'll always love you deeply, Aunt Patsy. With all of my love for you & your family, Shari
