Patricia Ann Patterson Ferrell, 69, of Glasgow, KY, went home to be with her Lord
and Savior on December 26, 2021 with her family by her side. She was born to the
late James E. and Madilyn Patterson on April 28, 1952 in Huntington, WV.
Patty was a graduate of Marshall University and a member of Phi Mu sorority. She was
a teacher for many years in Huntington, WV, Puyallup, WA, and Seymour, IN.
Pre-school children were her first love and she particularly enjoyed working with
special needs children.
Patty also very much enjoyed her many Golden Retrievers over the years, and along
with her husband, rescued that breed, fostering or adopting all but their very first
Golden, Chloe. In the 70’s, she had the opportunity to travel the country with her
husband playing music. She often said that experience opened up her personality, and
open and friendly she was, always with a smile, a positive attitude, and a kind
comment wherever needed. Patty had friends everywhere, and once you became one, you
knew it was for a lifetime.
She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Steve Ferrell; her son, Jonathan Ferrell
(Taylor) of Glasgow; brother, James Patterson, Jr. (Olga) of Crestview, FL; niece,
Cheddy Patterson Walkowiak (Bill) of Crestview, FL; nephew, Jamie Patterson (Laura)
of Crestview, FL; cousins, Dean and Bill Patterson, of Whidbey Island, WA; cousin,
Roberta Montgomery Allnut of Laytonsville, MD; and Tasha (Mommy’s Girl).
A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm Sunday, January 2, 2022, at Glenview
Christian Church, 1403 Glenview Dr. Glasgow, KY 42141. Please share your condolences
with the family at www.crowfuneralhome.com.
