Patricia is survived by her children Eddie Phillips, Chuck Phillips (Sharon), Cheryll Tate (Ralph), seven grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. She was a member of Zachary United Methodist Church. Although a Louisianian for most of her adult life, she often spoke fondly of her childhood growing up in Georgia and the Carolinas. Her life-long vocation, hobby, and passion was mothering her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to cook, especially for her grandchildren, and prided herself for her famous pineapple cupcakes. One to never be bashful, she was happy to share her thoughts and opinions on life. Mama Pat bestowed her love upon her family and friends, and she will be greatly missed.
