I met Ms. Eley as a roommate of a classmate, Hazel Clark, at a local care facility. We became friends and I continued to visit her even after Hazel transferred to another facility. She was always so appreciative of our times together. I recently stopped by for a visit and learned that she had gone home. Rest well my friend
Thinking of you with our deepest sympathy. The family of Lula Daniels.
To the Eley Family:
I am so very sorry for your loss. Patsy and I worked together at Midlands Center and shared an office for one of those years. She was such a delightful, talented lady, and had the kindest heart. Her dedication to those with whom we worked was such a blessing. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy.
To the Eley Family:
I extend my deepest sympathy to your family and friends regarding the loss of Patsy Eley. I worked with Ms Eley when she worked at Midlands Center as a Social Worker. She was a member of my staff and was an outstanding advocate for all her families and their loved ones. She also added her other talents to the Midlands family as a soloist in a choir we had for a Christmas Program among other events where she would give us an inspirational selection. She was loved and respected by many and was a great addition to the staff and the people we served. I greatly admired her and we had many great laughs and discussions together. She will rest in peace. God bless you all.
To The Eley Family:
The loss of one so dear has saddened the lives of many. I worked with Ms. Eley at Midlands Center. I remember her sweet nature, kind heart and always had a beautiful smile. I used to call her Ms. Fashion Diva, her hair always on point. Rest in paradise🙏
To the family of Patsy Sumter Eley. It was my pleasure to work with Ms. E. For several years. We used to eat lunch together and watch the young and the restless. She is one of the sweetest person I know with a heart of gold. Praying that God give the family the strength that they need during this difficult time. Love you Ms. E. Rip.
A beautiful soul is resting. You taught me a lot along our journey and I thank God for letting me share you for just a few more minutes on last Wednesday. Blessings to the family and my prayer is that God comforts you in this time of bereavement.
A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all of her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future, because of her past.
Patsy was a phenomenal woman, mother, grandmother, and soloist. A beautiful soul was taken too soon, but I know you are in a better place.
Praying for you Tanaria, Shakeria, and family.
Love,
QuiQui Jones and Family
