Patricia L Brown

Patricia L. Brown, known affectionately as Pat to her friends and family, passed away peacefully on December 12, 2023, in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Born on June 18, 1945, in Gastonia, North Carolina, Pat's life was marked by her loving nature, kindness, and generosity, traits that endeared her to all who knew her.

Pat was the cherished daughter of the late Inez and Sam Williams and was preceded in death by her sister Esther Johnson and brother Larry Williams. Her spirit is carried on by her devoted daughter, Donna Faulkner, her son Dustin Brown, her beloved grandchildren, Ronnie Faulkner III, Jeremy Faulkner, and Jennifer Faulkner, and her adored great-grandchildren, Hailey and Chloe Imor, and Caden Faulkner. She has also left behind her only surviving brother, Billy Williams.

Throughout her life, Pat was the epitome of care and dedication, a testament to her long-standing role as a housekeeper at Gastonia Memorial Hospital. Her commitment to service extended beyond her professional life, as she was an active participant in the Gaston Skills program, where she made significant contributions to the well-being of others.

Pat's interests were a reflection of her love for life and the joy she found in simple pleasures. She had a passion for riding horses, often taking long, reflective walks with her daughter in the pasture, and visiting with her son. Her delight in word searches and bingo games was matched only by her dedication to her faith. Pat was a regular at church, where she found strength and solace in the company of her church friends and family.

Those who knew Pat will remember her for the warmth she brought to every room and the care with which she nurtured her relationships. Her legacy is one of love and compassion, a guiding light for all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Pat's life was a journey of love, from her early days in Gastonia, where she was born and raised, to her final years in Spartanburg. She navigated the world with grace and left an indelible mark on the hearts of those she touched.
