Boo “Pat” was the most kind-hearted person and would help any and everyone. She never knew a stranger. She loved to laugh and have a good time, some would say she was the reason everything was so funny and why we all laughed as much as we did, due to her keep it real, but down to earth personality something that made people gravitate to her.

She enjoyed time with her friends (Charlene Curry, Josephine Nash and Rita Reliford) and family, but her life’s biggest enjoyment was loving and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Boo “Pat” will always be remembered as the one to call if you were going to be late to the family gathering to have her put your plate up, because we all knew she would have a good five or more to-go plates hidden somewhere. She will truly be missed but always remembered.
