Patsy Lou Pettigrew's Obituary
Our dear mother, Patsy Lou Pettigrew of Richardson, Texas, died suddenly on the morning of September 19, 2025, surrounded by her three girls while on their annual “girls’ trip. Patsy lived her last day on earth doing exactly what she would have wanted to do. She took a road trip with her girls to Fredericksburg, Texas, singing and dancing in the car, eating a fine meal, then off to the local country western dance hall to dance the night away. While she died suddenly, which is always hard on the loved ones left behind, we are blessed that mom did not suffer and had the night of her life the day before. If you knew Patsy, she would have had it no other way. Patsy was a loving Mom, Aunt, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Great, Great Grandmother. She loved to travel, shop, play bridge, have family game night, and spend quality time with her family and friends. Her sense of humor and love of life will be greatly missed.
