Patricia Ann Grigsby

Patricia Ann Grigsby was born in Bradley, Arkansas on October 18, 1958 to Ola Mae Stringer Harper and James Grigsby. She received her final call on Friday, December 6, 2019. 

Patricia was known for her loud outspoken personality. You never had to wonder what she thought about you, she’d let you know, good or bad. She loved her family, dearly and enjoyed spending time with them when possible. She was extremely intelligent. After graduating from Bradley Schools, she attended nursing school in Houston, where she graduated with all A’s.

She was a loving, well-rounded natural born caregiver who did not limit herself to just nursing. She wore many hats throughout her life. Her love for people allowed her to become an honorary chef, sheriff and mediator to those around her. She also enjoyed working on cars and gardening. She was known for growing some sweet watermelons.

She was preceded in death by her aforementioned father and brother, James Grigsby, Jr.
