Born July 9, 1938, in Stanly County, NC, she was the daughter of the late Daniel Calvin Griggs and Thelma Josephine Forrest Bowers. She retired as a Department Manager with Walmart and attended Faith Free Will Baptist Church.
Patsy will be remembered by her friends and family as a strong-willed and beautiful woman with a wonderful sense of humor. She was loyal and devoted, an amazing wife, and someone with a truly generous and caring heart. Above all, she loved the Lord. She enjoyed attending car shows and watching NASCAR, a passion that began through her husband’s love of cars. Though she was often quiet and kept to herself, those who knew her best understood the depth of her love and kindness.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Lonnie Gene Bowers, in 2012.
“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.” — Proverbs 31:30
