Pat was born a nurturer. She loved having and caring for any animal. She was happy when she was nursing the sick and giving them a reason to smile or to have a better day. Pat was loving, tender-hearted, a good listener, hard worker, and could tell a joke like no one else. Larry could always make her laugh spontaneously, just by making an off-the-cuff remark or a funny face. Any day Pat could be outside, enjoying the simple life of seeing pretty flowers, listening to the birds chirp, going on a job with Larry, walking in the woods, or even weed eating, was a good day for her.

Pat and Larry were a team, and Larry spent the most significant part of the last decade lovingly caring for her as they dealt with the ravages of Alzheimers Disease

Pallbearers will be Barry Garner, Zachary Garner, Billy Ray Kennedy, Bobby Gibbons, and Ric Lambert. Honorary pallbearers will be Pat’s Caris Hospice Care Team, especially, “Pat’s Angels,” Britnee and Brenda, and the Bodenham High School Class of 1968.
