Condolences to the family,Pat was just Beautiful inside and out she was the dear friend of my sister that is know longer with us. Pat you will never be forgotten and missing you very much
I met Ms Pat while thrifting.
I hadn’t seen her since Covid and I would wonder if she was ok, About a moth ago, we bumped into each other, we ran up to each other and hugged one another. Just like everyone said she was the sweetest kindest person you could meet.
I Thank God for allowing me to see and talk with her one last time.
We told each other we love one another and that was our last words we said to each other… Love you Ms Pat,
To my unofficial godmother
Thank you for all my “first”! You were more than a neighbor you were my second mom growing up and for that I will forever be grateful. Hearing you say “Vooooo”, greeting me with a big hug and a kiss made me feel your love. I will miss that and most of all I’m going to miss you. Love you my girl!!
Family, please know that the beautiful spirit of “Pat” will be with all through eternity. My heart rejoices as I reflect on Pat’s love, kindness, and joy! Jesus was absolutely the center of Pat’s joy! Raymond, Anthony, Johnetta, Crystal, and all of Pat’s Family: know that God will strengthen you and hold you in His Righteous hand during this journey as He says He will comfort the brokenhearted; and know, Pat’s love will be with you through all eternity.
Love you all!
My sincerest condolences to the family. Pat was one of a kind. A kind and caring person who showed concern for others. We will miss her smile and encouraging words of wisdom. Rest in peace Pat.
The passing of Pat English, a kind, sweet, joyous hearted person, has left me speechless. Her friendly personality and welcoming smile will be sorely missed. She had a thoughtfulness that will never be forgotten. Sleep on my friend. Our prayers and condolences to her family. — the Milling family
With a quick wit and a smile that could brighten any room, Miss Pat always showered people with kindness and love. I will always appreciate how she shared her friendship with my Mom and the rest of our family.
My heartfelt condolences to her family.
“Hi Jackie, How are your parents?”, this is the common greeting I would receive from Ms. English- always so caring, always so giving. I shall never forget her kindness towards my family and myself. Some people talk about God. Some people live it. Miss Pat English lived it! To God be the glory! Ms Pat would help cook meals on Wednesdays for the senior citizens, help decorate for events at Zion Baptist church among many things she did for God’s kingdom. May her family have peace knowing that she truly was a child of God and is now in God’s care. I shall always be grateful for you, Ms Pat. Love you always, Jackie
Ms Pat was a beautiful person in and out. She will be missed.
P-Proverbs 31
A-Angelic
T- Type of Woman
How could it be that a person could meet so many individuals 1 time, 2,3 times or more and everyone that meets her comes back with the same results regarding her rapport. That’s Miss Pat! The comments and the compliments are consistent and not because they’re from copy cats. It’s just true that if you ever met Miss Pat, you get the same person all the time. When someone says Pat English, the sound of her lovely voice and the look of her beautiful face come to mind. Her tall statuesque frame appears right in the front of your head. Strangers, would probably think she would have an ego but upon making her acquaintance, you would quickly learn that’s was a No! Instead you’d get a kind, humble, stylish model of a woman better yet she was an earthly angel who displayed Christian love as we have been commanded to do! Goodbye Ms. Pat I am so glad to have known you. May you rest in the bosom of Abraham where you will forever be happy and have a beautiful smile on your face. With deepest sympathies, Tammy Young
Miss Carrie, you and you family have my sincere condolences and prayers in the passing of your sister.
Miss Pat was a beautiful flower. We will miss her kind words, beautiful smiles. James and Sharon Reese

My condolences to the family of Aunt Pat. As the mother-in-law of her nephew Chris I became part of the family. I will miss our long distance phone calls – when I could catch her at home.

I’m saying to you trust in God he will get you through difficult time . Love, deacon Littlejohn and family.

Take your rest Aunt Pat, your time on this earth is done but your loving spirit remains. I shall never forget you as long as I live. With all of my heart, I will miss your smiling face. Love you always. God bless your soul.🙏🏽
I will miss your smile 😃 when I come home to visit Zion. Sleep on and take your rest.
