She was a proud alumna of the University of Tennessee (go Big Orange) where she was a member of the Delta Zeta sorority. Patsy was a gifted seamstress and artist. She made it her life mission to trace her family history and “dig up” every ancestor possible. She almost succeeded. She and Harold rubbed many tombstones throughout Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia looking for those kin. She was an active member of The Huguenot Society of Virginia, National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century and Daughters of the American Revolution, holding many offices at local and regional levels in all. She was a member of Rappahannock Christian Church in Dunnsville, VA. The family would like to thank the staff of Essex House, her long-time caregivers Charlotte Meuse, Tracy Clayton and Patti Hicks, and the nurses of Riverside Hospice.
