Wife - Mrs. Patsy
My wife, Patsy, accepted Christ the week before her 10th birthday. She has been a faithful helpmeet since our wedding in June 1970. She works hard and is my personal Secretary and enjoys being at the computer: typing Bible studies, newsletters, brochures, keeping up the church website, preparing bulletin boards and planning special events, teaching the ladies, decorating for ladies meetings, banquets, showers and parties, etc.
She enjoys Christian biographies, Christian ladies books, learning new crafts, spending time with me in the Smokey mountains and anything she can do with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
She has learned and developed much through the years and has risen to the occasion when needed, teaching nursery, ages birth through age three, Sunday School for children through Elementary grades as well as ladies classes of all ages. She has been a co-teacher with me in junior and senior high, college & career, young married, married couples and adult classes. She has taught beginner and junior church, has been a deacon's wife, choir member, AWANA Secretary, Director and Leader from Kindergarten through Elementary grades, directed and/or worked in Vacation Bible School here and abroad and worked alongside me whenever I asked and whatever I needed!
Patsy was a member of the Tennessee Temple Wives Association (TWA) where she worked as a hostess for the 200 plus ladies attending their monthly meetings during my years at TTU. She enjoys preparing theme ideas and gathering and testing craft ideas for ladies meetings such as: cake decorating, chicken scratch, crochet, counted-cross stitch, macrame', painting, quilting, scrapbooking, sewing, stamping and tatting. She looks forward to painting the Smokey Mountain landscapes on our vacations and from postcards and pictures she's collected through the years - Hey, a great idea for a ladies AFLAME Craft meeting!
