"Mrs. Patsy Kirkpatrick was loved by so many. Her home and heart were always welcomed to everyone. She was known for her patience, positive outlook, spontaneous nature, and a great sense of humor. She was the kind of person that whistled while she worked. According to her, God and family were always number one. She enjoyed gardening, bird watching, cooking and was an avid reader. She enjoyed traveling far and near. Mrs. Patsy loved life and absolutely lived it to the fullest."
