Patsy married Lewis in 1955. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was kind, gentle, and full of love for everyone in her presence. She had a way of making everyone feel special whether it was through her warm hugs, her thoughtful words, or the delicious meals she always seemed to have ready. Her cooking brought our family together. No one could make a table feel as full of love as she did. Every recipe she made was with care and comfort and every moment spent with her was a blessing. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth and the memories of her kindness will remain in our hearts forever.
