A fond memory of Patsy always occurs on the day after Thanksgiving. Inevitably, she always reminded me that the Mince Meat Pie that I was about to eat is a no-no on meatless Friday. She always waited until the very last second to save me from “mortal sin”. Rest in peace prankster. We will miss you! Love, Donald
P.S. I did learn later that the ‘meat’ is usually “nut meat” but sometimes it’s real meat but
we were too poor for Sis to actually put meat in our Mince Meat Pies

We’ll miss our birthday parties at Green Park with Patsy – hers and Donald’s. They were real parties with Patsy inviting her nursing home friends who also graciously presented her with carefully chosen gifts. Without fail, Patsy would call us in July to remind us that we’d need to celebrate Donald’s birthday…. and White Castles were a must! For both events, table decoration, a beautifully decorated cake and drinks were graciously supplied by our thoughtful, sweet cousin Peggy! Pat, as she was known there, was a a dear friend to many at Green Park…they will surely miss Pat’s kindness.

I will always remember Patsy as a strong St. Louis Hawks (1955–1968) Basketball fan. The Hawks won the NBA Title in 1958. She was really upset when they moved to Atlanta, Ga.

I remember Nancy, my sister, and I used to enjoy playing cards and games such as Monopoly and Clue
with Pat when we were kids. I also enjoyed visiting her at Green Park and meeting many of her friends there. She will be greatly missed.

I remember my sisters and I would visit Pat and her relatives when we were kids and
enjoyed playing games with her. In recent years I visited her at Green Park Home and
she loved puzzles and playing Bingo and we enjoyed seeing various entertainment there
with her friends. She was always very friendly and will be missed by many.

I will miss the memories of Patsy, when I was a child, always greeting us with a smile, so happy to see us, and playing games with us. She was always so warm and happy. Rest in peace.

Patsy could always put a smile on your face. Love filled the room when she was around. She had so much love in her heart for everyone she met, and I am sure she has changed many people’s lives for the better in having known her.

I had many happy days with Patsy when she lived with her Mother Sis on Dar Lane in South County. Patsy always wanted to play games, and there were lots of them to choose from. I hope her friends at Green Park Nursing Home are doing well – I know they will miss her, as I will.

Patsy was one of our cousins I could always count on for finding a good game to play when we visited our aunt’s house on Juniata Street as kids. If we were just killing time while Aunt Sis gave gave one of my sisters a perm, Patsy even let me play with her plastic horse collection, which were about 12 inches high. Otherwise, I could always find a jigsaw puzzle on a huge table to work on in the basement.
Patsy loved animals and during my visits to St. Louis, she would always ask “how our dog was doing,” and she always remembered the dog’s name. We had three dogs at different periods, but she never got them confused, despite the infrequency of my visits. Once she chastised me for not having visited her at the nursing home in “15 years!” I don’t believe it was that long, but it reminded me to pay more attention to her so I tried to remember to send her a greeting card every holiday, knowing how much she would appreciate it. She was a very friendly spirit to everyone despite having lost her immediate family. I am saddened by her death, a casualty of this epidemic.

As a child, my sister, Peggy, and brother, Tom, would walk over to our Aunt Sis’s home on
Juniata Street. Patsy would always be there working on a very complicated puzzle and anxious to play board games with us. She was fun to be with and we enjoyed her company.
One thing about Patsy that I noticed as a child and it continued as an adult was how she
had a personality that was sensitive to others and she wanted everyone to be included. If
she was talking to one person near her and you entered the circle, she would say something to you so that you felt welcomed to the group. Everyone at the Nursing Home knew Patsy
because she was so warm and outgoing. I know they all miss her and I am hoping that
they are well. I will miss visiting her when I am in St. Louis.
