Nancy Lou Patrick, of Phoenix, Arizona, recently of Wister, Oklahoma was born November 20, 1932 and grew up with her parents Freida Lou and Stephen L. Griffin in Chillicothe, Missouri. Nancy passed away September 6, 2023 in Pocola, Oklahoma at the age of 90. Nancy was a loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother to her family as well as a kind and loyal friend to everyone.
Nancy loved her family and she would proudly boast about her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to anyone and everyone she met. Nancy never missed a family birthday, anniversary, baptism, wedding, graduation, or special occasion, even if it wasnt in person there was always a card. This dedication and devotion extended to all her friends and even down to her beloved dogs. Nancy would even sing the praises of her favorite hairdressers "Tom" and "Verna". Nancy was just as hard and dedicated worker in her 25 years as an Aide and Secretary for the Washington School District in Phoenix, Arizona. Nancys love extended after retirement as a member of her weekly bible study "Soul Sisters".
But the person who hung the moon and stars for Nancy was the love of her life, John Patrick. John married Nancy Lou Griffin on November 15, 1952 and they were married 66 years before John passed in February 2019. Their devotion and love was unparalleled. You rarely saw Nancy without John by her side or John without Nancy. They are now forever together and each others loving arms.
In addition to her beloved husband, John Patrick, Nancy was preceded in death by her grandson, Brandon Jennings.
