Patricia Patterson, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 12, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on May 14, 1934, Patricia lived a life marked by warmth, dedication, and a generous spirit.

A proud 1952 graduate of Nederland High School, Patricia was an active student, serving as President of the Social Club. Her professional life included a fulfilling career as a secretary at Borden's and Zummo Meat Company. A woman of deep faith, she was a cherished member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Port Neches. Patricia found joy in life's simple pleasures, whether it was the excitement of visiting casinos, the comfort of cooking and baking for loved ones, or the festive spirit of decorating for the holidays. She was known for her understanding nature, her caring heart, and her forgiving spirit, always striving to see the best in people, beyond their faults. Patricia, alongside her brother, lovingly cared for both of their parents.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Terri Sue Patterson Leonard; her sons, William Perry Patterson and his wife Samona, and John Joseph Patterson. Patricia's legacy continues through her grandchildren, Heather Anderson and her husband Phillip, Jodi Patterson, John Robert Patterson, and Madison Patterson, as well as her great-grandchildren, Kason Dickson, Harper Dickson, and Lyla Patterson. She is also survived by her dear brother, Perry Gene Silkwood.

Patricia was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Perry and Margaret Silkwood; her devoted spouse, Terrance Alford Patterson; her son-in-law, Ray Leonard; her sister, Bessie Burnaman; and her grandson, Matthew Anderson.

Her warmth and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
