Patience was many things to many people, but her proudest and most loved accomplishment was being a mother to her son, Joseph IV. “Jay,” as he is known, was the light in his mother’s eyes. She loved him with all her heart and soul.

She is also survived by her longtime best friend, Leslie Rosson, who was always there for her.
