Patsy was born in Kyle, Texas, on Sunday, April 9, 1933. She professed her faith in Christ at an early age at a revival in Kyle one summer on the city hall square. Patsy began playing the piano for First Baptist Church when she was 15 and it continued to be her ministry for over 50 years. Patsy met and married Lee in 1950. Music was a passion for Patsy and you could hear her playing her favorite gospel songs from her piano at home. She would play for hours while the family and grandchildren stood around the piano singing familiar gospel songs or seasonal songs. She was an active member of the WMU (Women’s Missionary Union) at the First Baptist Church of Kyle and spent many summers helping and teaching in Vacation Bible School. Patsy and Lee built churches to the glory of God with the Texas Baptist Men all over the United States. She also shared her ministry through music with the people of South America with the Crusade for Christ.

Patsy worked along with Lee and her sons running a prominent business in the refrigeration and A/C business known throughout Central Texas. Her interest besides her family and friends was her dishes, in fact, she had decorated most of her house with them that had been handed down to her from family. She was a well known seamstress that loved sewing for her family and grandchildren. Patsy was also known to family and friends as a giving and selfless woman who loved her family and served them tirelessly. Her chocolate pies and homemade chicken and dumplings were known and loved by anyone who spent time at her home or church. Her door was always open to anyone needing a meal, something to drink, a place to stay or encouragement with love. She was known as “Mom” or “Nana” to more than just her blood family. 

A Memorial service will be announced at a later date because of the current pandemic.
