Patsy May
February 10, 1940 — July 28, 2017
Patsy Iona Futch May, 77 years old, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of July 28, 2017 at Hilltop Manor Nursing Home. She was preceded in death by her parents Jakie and Jewel Futch of Conehatta, Mississippi. She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Buddy May; her siblings Lozelle Pace, Peggy Germany (identical twin), her children Suzanne Weaver and her husband Chris Weaver, Robert May and his wife Patricia; 4 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
Patsy married her high school sweetheart on August 16, 1958. After living in Louisiana, Nebraska, and Alabama, the couple settled in Newton, Mississippi and started a family. They moved to Conehatta, Mississippi and later Leland, Mississippi before returning to Decatur, Mississippi in retirement. Patsy worked at various local banks, was active in church, active in her children’s activities, and maintained a warm and loving household. She was a devoted wife and loving Mother and Grandmother. She was an avid gardener and particularly loved roses. She touched our lives in a very special way and will be deeply missed. After struggling with health issues throughout her life, she is now in a better place and free of pain and suffering. In Revelation 21:4 we are told: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” In 1 Thessalonians 4:17 we are told: “Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.”
The family would like to express appreciation to the staff of Hilltop Manor Nursing Home and of Sta-home Hospice for the loving care that was provided to Patsy.
There will be a memorial service at Clarke Venerable Baptist Church in Decatur, MS on August 12, 2017 at 10:00 am.
A memorial donation may be given to the Alzheimer’s Association in lieu of flowers (alz.org).
