Patricia was loved by many. Whether they called her Patricia, “Miss Trish,” “my other-mother,” mom, or grandmother, she loved all. She was a former Miss Athens. She loved her church, friends, and her family. She gained great pleasure in providing meals to her friends and family during times of illness or need or even just for something good to eat. She will be missed by us all.
Patricia was preceded in death by her husband Herbert Gatlin, Jr.
Survivors include her son and daughter-in-law Ed and Paige Gatlin, her daughter and son -in-law Ann Gatlin and Dorr Scherz, and her four grandchildren Aaron Scherz, Alexandria Gatlin, Lloyd Scherz, and Justin Gatlin.
If desired memorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 927 Athens, Texas 75751.
So sorry to hear this. She was a lovely lady, so warm and friendly. Prayers to her family.
