Patricia was a woman of many passions and a heart full of love. She was a member of the New Life Foundation, where she found solace and purpose. Patricia had a love for literature and was an avid reader throughout her life.

Among her many joys in life, Patricia cherished spending quality time with her family. Her warmth and affection were felt by all who were fortunate enough to be in her presence. She found great delight in the company of her children and grandchildren, and she knew she was a star in their eyes. To Patricia, that was all that truly mattered.

Patricia enjoyed traveling, and she particularly relished her summer retreats to her beach house in Myrtle Beach. The sun, sand, and ocean brought her a sense of peace and happiness, which she wholeheartedly shared with her loved ones.

Her love extended beyond her family, as Patricia had a deep and abiding affection for her friends. She was a source of unwavering support to those who had the privilege of calling her a friend.
