Patricia Lorean Minton of Elmore City, Oklahoma was born to Rufus Lee Mathis and Lorean Mae (Fowler) Mathis on September 15, 1951 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and passed from this life on September 8, 2022 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at the age of 70.
Patricia grew up and attended school in Elmore City. She later attended Vo-tech in Enid, Oklahoma, specializing in computer science. Patricia was a stay at home mother before starting a 30 year career with the Federal Department of Agriculture. In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening, card games, and OU football (Raymond couldn't talk during games!). Patricia especially loved being outdoors, tending her big gardens and greenhouse, where she grew squash, peppers, tomatoes, and asparagus. The highlights of her life were her family and her dogs, Punky, Minnie, and Dollie. Patricia will be remembered for being a very generous person, offering her time and her home to others. Also, her chocolate gravy, pulled pork (Jacob had some every visit), and strawberry ice cream were to die for!
