Patsy enjoyed dancing in her younger years. She had a beautiful voice and sang in several church choirs throughout her life. Professionally, she worked in the medical field as a medial secretary and biller for over 20 years. She loved attending her grandchildren's sporting events, recitals, and special activities. Her two four-legged family members, Lily and Landon, brought her great joy. Patsy had a compassion for helping others in their time of need. She was very proud of her Italian heritage.

Patsy's family would like to thank Amedisys Hospice for the wonderful care and compassion they provided throughout her brief illness. A special thank you to Courtney, her nurse, and Stacy her aide. These individuals truly embody the term caregiver.
