Patsy Williams Obituary

Patsy Williams

Nov. 20, 1942 - Jan. 24, 2023

Patsy Jo (Fitzgerald) Williams was born in Clifton, Texas on November 20, 1942, to Jimmie Alton Fitzgerald and Hazel Lee Scruggs Fitzgerald. She was welcomed into Heaven on January 24, 2023, by her mother; father; husband, Jim Bob Williams; and a host of other family and friends that have gone before her in heaven with Jesus. Visitation will be Thursday, February 2, from 6-8 p.m. A chapel service is scheduled for Friday, February 3, beginning at 10 a.m., at Oakcrest Funeral Home, 4520 Bosque Blvd. in Waco, TX. A private graveside service will be held afterward with immediate family.

Patsy was a graduate from Waco High School in 1961. She retired from Payne Webber UBS. She recently enjoyed reconnecting with lifelong Jr. High and High School friends.

Her proudest accomplishments were her children, Cathy Lange Howard and Chris Williams. She was known as a loving grandmother "Momma Pat or Poppa Pat" and survived by her grandchildren, Lauren Howard, Kieran Williams; and great-grandchild, MaKenna Howard. She was a beloved mother-in-law to Chris's wife, Wendy Williams. She is also survived by her brother, Charles Fitzgerald; nieces, Eden and Taylor; and nephew, Michael.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Waco Cardiology and Providence Hospital for providing excellent care. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The American Heart Association; Fuzzy Friends; or the charity of your choice in her memory.
