She had an unquenchable thirst for reading until the day that she died, and she read her Bible every night before going to sleep.  She had an impeccable memory and even at 87 years of age could recite poems, children&#39;s books, novels, recipes, information about actors, current events, and political information.  She loved to let others know that she absolutely knew what was transpiring in the world!Pat&#39;s home and land were and still are a sanctuary for deer, birds (especially hummingbirds and a blue heron), and various other animals.  She had a special bond with all of the animals.  When several deer came up to her house two days before she passed away, she said that they were coming to say good bye to her.  She had a great love for Great Danes and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, especially Kaitlyn.Pat was a self-taught artist.  She captured many members of her family in her paintings.  She also enjoyed painting wildlife, celebrities, and people who had &quot;striking faces&quot;.Pat used her cell phone like a pro.  She knew how to take pictures, send and receive text messages, and order whatever she wanted.  One never knew what might be delivered at the door when staying with her!  When she was in the hospital and rehab, she would text members of her family and let us know what was transpiring. No one at the hospital or the rehab center could believe that she knew how to operate her phone like the true master that she was.Pat said all that a girl ever needed in life was a white blouse, blue jeans, and mascara.Services will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 24.Keystone Church3303 Dallas Acworth Hwy.
