The youngest of 10, she grew up on a farm and attended Roaring Springs Schools. She married the love of her life, Jerry T. Edwards on August 31, 1952 at her parent's home in Roaring Springs, and they just recently celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. She and Jerry owned and operated Edwards Funeral Homes in Strawn, Ranger and Eastland.
She is survived by her husband; one son, Terry M. Edwards, and wife Deana, of Lone Camp, Texas; three daughters, Suzanne Hunter, and husband Deron, of Blanco, Texas, Michelle Henson of Boerne, Texas, and Heather Goad, and husband David, of Azle, Texas; four sisters, Geraldine Skaggs of Palo Pinto Lake, Texas, Genell Carpenter of Palo Pinto Lake, Texas, Earle Price, and husband James, of Lubbock, Texas, and Mary Ann Avara, and husband John, of Denver City, Texas; a sister-in-law, Valerie Jenkins of Colleyville; nine grandchildren, Ben Edwards, Blake Edwards, Ian Edwards, Orie Edwards, Brandy Bartz, and husband Zack, Wendy Tate, Megan Goad, Brooke Goad and Kristin Lane; and one great grandson, Taylor Tate; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Milton Brooks and C.C. "Preacher" Brooks, and three sisters, Ruby Whitaker, Delores Smallwood, and Vivian Woods;
Pat was currently a member of Lone Camp Baptist Church and The 47 Club of Ranger, Texas. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Ranger for many years, where she taught Sunday School, Training Union, and Vacation Bible School. Pat was a faithful Christian woman, and enjoyed sitting at her breakfast table every morning looking out at the lake while she read her Bible and Daily Devotionals. Fondly referred to by her grandkids and many others as "Mama Pat", she loved to play cards and dominos (she hated to lose) and spending time with her family. She enjoyed the many trips with her FDLIC family, spending time with her sisters and brothers-in-law, and dinners with their "Supper Club". She also loved attending the Women of Faith conferences and had done so for the past several years. She was an avid and loyal Dallas Cowboys fan, and in recent years she enjoyed watching the Texas Rangers and Nascar. She had an infectious laugh and a heart of gold. She will be missed by all of her family and all of those she "adopted" along the way.
