Patricia was born June 10, 1943 in Kennett, Mo. She grew up in Rector and graduated from Rector High School in 1961. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and was immensely proud of her family. Her unconditional love, support, and sacrifice for her children and grandchildren epitomized what a mom should be. She loved working in her yard and took great pride in maintaining it, spending countless hours on her John Deere lawnmowers. Over the years, this provided her ample opportunity to engage in one of her other favorite pastimes, talking and “visiting” with any one of her many cherished neighbors of her long-time home on Lake Concordia, La.

Funeral services for Patricia “Trish” were held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 24, 2922, at Young’s Funeral Home in Ferriday, La., with Brother Kevin Skipper officiating. Internment followed at Highland Park Cemetery, Sicily Island, La.
