She adored her family and friends and cherished every memory she had with those she loved. She longed for the laughter she shared with her brothers, reminisced often of the time spent traveling on her sister trips, watching her young boys play sports, gardening with her daughter, treasuring her coffee time shared with the love of her life, and beamed with pride when she thought about the beautiful family they had created. She loved fashion and took pride in always looking her best. Patsy had an impeccable eye for design and thrived when she was dreaming up and creating new home designs. James worked hard and took such pleasure in making her dreams come to life. Together, they carefully curated a beautiful home that they loved and were proud of. She was the embodiment of beauty; it radiated from within her and lingered on everything she touched.While the void she leaves behind weighs heavily on our hearts, we can rest assured that we will see her again one day. She is pain free in Heaven walking the streets of gold, embracing the loved ones that were awaiting her arrival, and preparing to decorate her mansion while dressed in the most beautiful outfit. While her earthly body may be gone, her spirit will stay with us reflected in the beauty of all the things she loved.In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations be made in Patsy's honor to St. Jude Children's Hospital.CLICK HERE TO VIEW ONLINE PROGRAM
