Patrica was the honored mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to Jim's family. Sister of Helen Stevens and the late Mary Lou and Richard. Her over 90 years of life was drenched in absolute love for her family and the Lord. Known by many names, Mum, Grandma, Mrs. O., Big Red, Pat and Mrs. Claus. She was cherished by so many. The lives she touched are uncountable. The life she lived so full of grace and laughter, that while she is so greatly missed her love forever remains in our hearts and is still pouring out over everyone she has ever known. Her family was her world, and she was the shining star. When asked her life advice, she never hesitated to give all the credit to God. Her faith was fierce, her joy was contagious, and her presence was palpable. She was plain fun to be around and inspiring souls who blanketed everyone she encountered with her sassy and soulful love. "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me." Nothing could ring more true. Friends received 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Friday only at the THOMAS L.
