Patricia A. Hughes was born on November 22, 1945 in Greenville, KY, the daughter of the late Ellis Wing and Genevieve Wing Reid. She departed this life on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at 5:30pm at her home.
She accepted Christ at an early age uniting with the A.M.E. Zion Methodist Church in Greenville, KY. She often attended service with her grandmother, Rose, and sang in the youth choir.
Pat was married to Welden L. Hughes on September 19, 1964, who was enlisted in the Unites States Air Force. Together, their union produced three children.
Pat worked much of her life in retail and was employed at Walmart up until her retirement due to the decline in her health.
Pat was an avid bowler and loved spending her time doing word seek puzzles.
To all who knew Pat, you know that she loved her family and friends deeply. She had a very colorful personality, a sharp wit, and loved to laugh. Pat is going to be missed, but don’t feel sad or sorry for her. She loved life and life loved her. Honor her memory and her life and when you think of her, think of her with joy and a smile.
