Born to the late Nellie and Philip Santee, Patricia was a guiding light within her family. She was preceded in death by her parents and her dear siblings, Bessie Faulkner, Leroy Santee, Gertrude Faulkner, and Caleb Hall.

As a great-grandmother to 17 great-grandchildren, including Kashton, Patricia found immense joy in watching her family grow and flourish. She cherished every moment with them, creating countless memories filled with laughter, love, and wisdom.

Patricia’s life was defined by her unwavering commitment to her family and her ability to nurture meaningful connections. She leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends, all of whom were touched by her kindness, generosity, and steadfast love.
