Patsy was a huge fan of Ole Miss Football and Baseball. She never missed a game making sure there was a TV or radio available at game time.  During her earlier years she was a pitcher for Chambers and Yocona Softball teams.  Her nieces and nephews will always remember her for being an avid grocery shopper, enjoying Saturday mornings spending many hours always looking for the best deal.  Patsy enjoyed spending time with her family and drinking endless cups of coffee.  She was known as the mother hen to all her family.  Where there was a need she was always there ready for help.  MS Sharp spent the last few months of her life at the Yalobusha Nursing Home.  She loved all the nurses and caregivers dearly.  She will be deeply missed by all her family and friends.
