Shared note	Beloved Patricia. Born February 4, 1925, she was known as "Infant Cox" on her birth certificate. Her mother, Florence soon decided to name her Patsy Eva, after an Aunt Eva in the Sanders family. She was a beautiful child, as her photos testify , and as an infant, won a "Most Beautiful Baby" contest, for which she and Florence were forever proud. At age 16, the strong and opinionated "Patsy" decided she wanted to be called "Patricia Ann" and from that day forward, that's who she was. A lso at 16, Patricia developed a strong interest in Catholicism and converted to that faith with wholehearted conviction. She was an outgoing, garrulous woman, who excelled in drama at her high school and participated in many school plays. Her nur turing temperament led her to attend nursing school at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, although she often lamented that she was never able to complete that training due to pregnancy. She met Harry W. Peters Jr. while at _________, they fell insta ntly in love and were married within two months. Once again, her strong nature enabled her to go through pregnancy and childbirth with Michael Allen, until two years later, her husband would return home from war. She was born to be a mom. Even though she went on to have 3 daughters, Patricia seemed to go about motherhood with much patience and little annoyance. She cooked, cleaned, ironed, sewed clothes, kept a perfect clean house with little visible eff ort. Patty was engaged in her community, had many friends, and corresponded with others on a regular basis. She was a leader of others and was elected President of the Women's Club of Warren, Ohio. Patricia also was, for a time, the school nurs e in Vienna, and also often worked part-time for some of the doctor's around that small Ohio hamlet. When in her 30's she attended Business College in Oklahoma City and graduated with straight A's. Thereafter, she worked as a secretary and nurs e assistant. When she moved to Egypt, a new world opened to her. Still a young woman in her late 30's, she loved to travel, shop and entertain. She became a regular May-Jong player with the ladies of Maadi and went on to become quite adept at Bridge. She wa s always kind to strangers and those who got to know her learned of her selflessness and giving nature. Her volunteer work and generosity in Egypt gained her many life-long admirers. In 1971, she and Pete moved to Houston, Texas to be near their children, Michael, Susan and Julia, who lived there. She continued working and shopping and loved to decorate her home with style, and tend garden. The two of them bought a little va cation cottage in Texas and a small trailer and continued to travel whenever they could. Patricia was looking forward to the time in life that her children would be truly grown-up: After all, her children were to her, the purpose of her life. Thi ngs sometimes don't turn out as we plan, and we lost Patricia Ann to cancer, way before any of us were ready to let her go. We still hear her soothing voice when we need special help; we hear her whistle as we go about our daily tasks and we reme mber her as though it was yesterday, forever.
