Patsy was a faithful member of Beacon Hill Baptist Church. She worked as a seamstress for Clifton Manufacturing in East Waco for over 30 years. Patsy enjoyed sewing and making crosses out of cloth to give to others. For her, giving out religious gifts to friends and family was a passion. Patsy was a Hallmark movie fan and always enjoyed the happy endings. Spending time with her family was something she loved to do, especially at annual gatherings, but very few things came before her dog, Precious. Patsy is also preceded in death by her parents; a step son, Billie Hendrickson Jr.; and siblings, Sonny Jackson, Johnnie "Buddy" Jackson, Charlie Jackson, Wayne Jackson, Helen Ratcliff, and Neoma Nelson. Survivors include her son, Ray Rochester Jr. and wife Earline of West; a step daughter, Karen Hendrickson; step sons, Delbert Hendrickson and Skip Hendrickson; a grandson, Jered Rochester; her siblings, Hazel Cline, Jimmie Ivicic, and Judy Ann Garney; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Pallbearers are Johnny Jackson, Johnny Jackson Jr., Chris Jackson, Nicky Jackson, Lesley Braziel and Skip Hendrickson. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Beacon Hill Baptist Church, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or The Wounded Warriors Project.
