We will miss Patsy, so much! She was a member at Ridgecrest Baptist Church and a member of Mary Carpenters Sunday school class. We loved her sweet spirit and her love for others, she often took donations to those less fortunate and seemed to love those who were young adults especially! Sisters in Christ, Judy Davis
