So many great memories on holidays and spending Summers at Ocean Lakes over many years! Always enjoyed Sundays after church wondering who would finish their meal last: Granny, Momma or Patsy, it was always a tight race! I am in my chosen career (Accounting) after my first exposure to it working with Patsy at Holden, Moss, Knott, Clark and Taylor the Summer after high school graduation. I appreciate that opportunity and all she taught me. She will be missed, but we are thankful she is not in pain any longer. Prayers and hugs to Sean and Scott and families. With love, Jessica and Mark

Please know that I am grieving with you all today in your loss. But I am also celebrating the life of this precious woman. I know heaven is a whole lot brighter now. Patsy was the first person to reach out to me when my family moved here from Illinois when I was in the 8th grade. I will always remember her friendship. Carlotta

Wishing all of the family my deepest condolences. I am so sorry to hear about Patsy. She was a very kind and loving person. As a childhood friend to Scott, I spent many weekends at the Vestals growing up. It was practically my second home. Patsy would carpool all of the kids to ball games and I remember going to church on Sundays and youth group during the week. Patsy was always willing to help out and was always there for her children and their friends. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Brent Griffin

Dearest family, Kenna and I are saddened to hear of Patsy's passing. Growing up with family at North Spray Christian Church...especially those of the Dehart family....was such a huge part of an awesomely nurturing atmosphere. If you needed a laugh, Patsy was a sure thing!!! I remember she was the first person to greet me at the church the day of my wedding to announce she had decided to record it for me on an audio recorder. With that big, big smile and that "whatcha think about that", and that infectious laugh that was Patsy's alone. We loved her then, we love her still. May God's peace surround all of you and give you strength for the days and weeks ahead. Love and hugs and prayers....Carole and KennaLynn
