Attached is an obituary that I copied from a Bristol News paper after receiving word from Patty's brother Larry about the recent passing of his sister. She was a graduate of Welch High school. I am not certain of the year. She taught in McDowell county for a short time. She was my third grade teacher at Kimball Elementary School. She was a beautiful person inside and out. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
