Dermott, AR Monday, October 7, 2024 I always considered Pattye a good friend. I was associated with her when I worked at the Extension Office. During those 50 years I never saw Pattye get upset about anything. She always had a pleasant smile on her face and was ready to help anyone that needed help. She loved her Lord and I know she was glad to go home.Shirley Hancock

Monticello, AR Tuesday, October 1, 2024 As soon as I read about Pattye I thought of Danny and his family. Then memories of 4H, Enon Baptist, EHC and the many many ice cream socials we had at our house or their house. I particularly remember when Danny was born and Buddy would hold his son up for us to see while sitting in the front pew at church. I was a teenager, so as Danny grew and could stand by himself we really caused trouble for him since he loved the attention with his smile. Pattye would patiently turn Danny around and pat him on the head telling him to listen to the preacher. My parents Elvin and Roberta Bates were dear friends of Buddy and Pattye. It’s sad to know that these great Christian people are gone, but we are a better community having known and loved them.BARBARA NEWTON
