I have known Patsy for many years and always recognized her warmth and graciousness. My late husband and I enjoyed many happy times with Patsy and David in New Orleans and when she and David visited us in Michigan. My deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Rembert Family,
So sorry to learn of Patsy's passing. She was a great mom, a great family friend, and a great boss at the Rose and the Ring. She and David are probably with Beth and George right now planning a New Year's Eve party!
With love,

I lived next door to Patsy at Lambeth for a short time; but we became close during that time.. She was a beautiful person and friend. Peace go with her.
