I am truly sorry for the loss of one of the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. She was a dear friend and client of mine for years. I loved her dearly. It wasn’t that she was so overly nice, She was so genuinely real which was one of my favorite things about her. She loved everybody and that made it easy to love her. My heart breaks for her family especially under these difficult times. Sitting here thinking of her and some of the things she shared with me about her life makes me smile. Hoping your memories of Pat will get you through this difficult time. Just watched the memorial.. very touching. Thoughts and prayers are with family, friends and all that were blessed to have known her. Pamela Ridge

Heaven gained a very special Angel.

Grandma was one of a kind! She was sweet, feisty, and such a joy to be around. Every time we’d visit, we’d always leave with a sore tummy from laughing so much.

I will cherish all of the wonderful memories we made together. There’s no place quite like Grandma’s house. As a child, I loved staying the night with Grandma because I got to take bubble baths and liked using her bath oil beads. When I’d stay the night we’d watch Baywatch, old black and white movies and westerns, QVC, and This Old House, to name a few. I remember the many times where I told my parents I was running away and going to Grandma’s house. We still joke about it to this day. I loved playing in her patio, helping water her flowers, and playing at playground nearby. I’ll never forget our trips to the fair, our trip to Disney World, Sea World, and Discovery Cove, the St. Christopher’s festival, going to work with her at the costume shop and trying on old Victorian dresses, making homemade noodles and sneaking sweets, the time she accidentally wore two different shoes at Allie’s wedding, her reaction when we told her she was going to be a Great Grandma, playing peek-a-boo with Isaac when we came to visit, and the list goes on. Oh, and I’ll never forget how much she loved watching her Walker, Texas Ranger!

We will miss her more than words could ever express. Even though Grandma is no longer physically here with us, she will always be right here, in our hearts forever.

“A grandmother is a little bit a parent, a little bit a teacher, and a little bit a best friend”

Love,

Ashley, Josh, and Isaac Lepper

Our most sincere condolences to the family and friends. Pat was a sweet lady and a good neighbor, always friendly with a lovely smile.. We will miss her. We pray the Lord's comfort and peace for you all. Blessing, Ron and Kathy Lee

Oh so sorry to know of your passing,you will be missed by many, say hello to Margaret for me. Save me a place on the end.

So sorry to hear about my best friend Pat passing. We shared many years of everything. I will miss her so much, but I have thousands of happy memories that we shared. She is now in her father's arms.

Randy; Susie, and family have many happy memories of times spent with Aunt Pat. Our condolences go out to our cousins. She will be missed.

Steve, myself and our family are sadden to hear of Aunt Pat's passing. Many cherished childhood memories we all shared at the Taylor family home. With her passing it seems like the end of an era. As I remember, we were a very close family. Some of my memories are eating grandma's berry's and cream, playing grey wolf, football and games with my cousins. Aunt Dolly lining all of us cousins up and giving us all cigarettes. I remember getting very sick that night so that is probably why I don't smoke. Grandpa always having room on his lap for all and his dog. Dancing in the spare living room with my uncles and of course a good old Euchre game being played in the dining room. I have felt the pain you are going through and hope peace comforts all of you in the days to come. Tony, Mark, Pattie and family, our deepest condolences.

Her Daughter Patti introduced me to I her mom several years ago at a costume shop. We laughed and shared stories- unfortunately I missed out on her dinners - I’m told she was a great mom and wonderful cook. Big hugs to my friend Patti.

Tony, Petra and family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep happy memories close until you see her again. Love, Stu & Mary

So sorry. It's tough to lose a mother. She's the one person in the world one can count on.

I have so many wonderful childhood and adult memories of vacations with the Ray family. We will forever be grateful for the sacrifices Aunt Pat and my cousins made so that she could come to TN to help mom when our dad was ill. Thanks to Mike, Tony, Mark, and Patti Ann for making sure Aunt Pat got to TN for the Pearce family vacations. She was a gem and always made our times together full of fun and laughter. May God grant all of you peace and comfort now and in the coming days.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ray family. I hope you find comfort knowing she’s at peace. I have many fond childhood memories of Aunt Pat including her home made cranberry salad at the holidays. Love Robin Taylor, Taylor, Kaycee and Sam Harris.

Thoughts and prayers to Pattie Ann, Tony, Mark, and the Ray family. Know that the entire Pearce family is saddened by the news of Aunt Pat’s passing. She was a fun-loving and very special aunt. Larry has many fond childhood memories of her and his Ray cousins, and we both cherish the memories of her on our many Pearce vacations. May God give you an extra measure of love and compassion during this difficult time.

Love, Larry and Jane

We send our love and heartfelt sympathy to all of Aunt Pat's family. We loved her so much---she was always kind, so much fun, and a delight to be with. May God bless you and give you strength and peace in the days ahead.

I have a lifetime of wonderful memories of Aunt Pat at family gatherings and vacations. She always had a youthful spirit and a love for life. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

Aunt Pat we love you very much and will miss you. You are with your brothers and sisters and son Mike. I know you didn’t want to leave your family here but you are happy and at peace. You will be in our hearts forever.

Susie and Carole

My Aunt Pat was one in a million. So funny and so sweet. A loving and giving person. Back in the day her and my mom used to talk and laugh for hours. I will miss her greatly. Love to all of the family.
