Patsy was born on December 22, 1934, in Ranger, TX, to Wells W. and Loyce Virginia (Andrew) Needham. A woman of faith, she embraced her Baptist beliefs throughout her life. After dedicating 29 years as a devoted receptionist at Bell Helicopter, she retired and relished in the joy of exploring new places, including a memorable trip to Israel where she was baptized in the Jordan River. Her deep love for family was evident as she thrived in the close-knit neighborhood where her children lived nearby for over 20 years, cherishing everyday moments with them and the joy of watching her grandchildren flourish.

Pallbearers for the service will include: Randy Blackmon, Randall Jenkins, Landon Miller, Nicholas Graham, Aiden Blackmon, and Logan Basinger.

Patsy is survived by her son, Phil Blackmon, and wife, Tyra; her daughter, Diana Maston, and husband, Bruce; six grandchildren: Brandi Jenkins and husband, RJ, Randy Blackmon and wife, Lindsay, Amber Neal, Mandy Scriber and husband, Jerry, Selena Cheek, and Ashley Soto; as well as 20 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, all of whom will carry her legacy forward. 

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Wells and Loyce Needham; her brother, Donald Needham; and her two sisters, Margrete Burton and Eloise Needham.

Join us as we celebrate Patsy's incredible life-a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering faith.
