Patricia Brown Abrams-Parker, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, nana, aunt and friend passed away peacefully at the age of 63 on June 5, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

On November 22, 1960, born in the city of Marshall, Tx, Patricia was the third of five children to Samuel Brown and Annie Marie Lane Brown. She grew up in a tight-knit community where she quickly gained a reputation for her kindness, integrity and unwavering determination.

Working at three different nursing homes for 28 years, Patricia dedicated her career working as a CNA/Medication Aid and taking care of other's loved ones with compassion. Being knowledgeable of her job duties, Patricia committed to giving the utmost care to the ones who couldn't care for themselves.

In her free time, Patricia enjoyed immersing herself in baking, finding solace in the beauty of sewing/crocheting, teaching herself how to play the piano and gaining knowledge in history. She found joy in orchestrating fun filled history games and bingo with her grandkids. When it came to Tricia's baking of caramel pecan pies, tea cakes and banana pudding, family and friends knew their sweet tooth would be blessed.

Patricia will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her unwavering optimism, her profound love for life and a good competitive game. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and literary brilliance that will continue to inspire generations to come.
