I have enjoyed spending time with Patty for the last few years. She was so kind and sweet to everyone. She could make me laugh and she could bring a few tears at times. Easy to please and loved her family. Going to miss you sweet Lady. Love Hazel
My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I always thought Pat was the most beautiful woman. I pray you will feel God’s presence in the days to come and your happy memories with her will ease your sorrow.
With love and prayers,
Cousin Melina
Sending love and prayers to you Libby and all the family.
A precious Drexel family that is loved by the Gary Cozort family. Pat was a lady, a great mother, and a wonderful supporter of her husband, Squat. Being in the Triple Community Fire Department with them was such a joy as we all were one big family where we went camping together, enjoyed the TCFD Christmas parties fo years, and other activities. Pat will be missed and we are glad that she passed our way. Love to all!
So many childhood memories included Pat Farris. My heart goes out to the entire family.
Thinking of you and your Family Libby . 🙏
Libby, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your mother was a beautiful and wonderful lady!! Much love to all of you.
