Our sweet wife, mother, sister, aunt, and Nana, Patricia "Patt" Garner, 80, of Granbury, passed away Oct. 16, 2024.
Join us as we share one last adventure with our loving Patt. Services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Fall Creek Highway in Acton. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
Patt was born Aug. 19, 1944, to Kinley and Alice McBride in San Antonio. In 1967, Patt met William "Bill" Garner and became a military wife April 4, 1970. Together they had three children: Brian, Karly and Jeff. The next 54 years were filled with laughs, love and so many adventures. When Patt wasn't making matching Christmas sweatshirts for the family, coaching drill team, or breaking up fights between Karly and Jeff, Bill and Patt filled their time traveling with their family and friends. They have scaled Machu Picchu, ridden camels in Egypt, skied the Swiss Alps, camped in the South of France, swam in the waters of Mallorca, and cruised all over the world, just to name a few. Their adventures were legendary and when Patt started moving a bit slower, they didn't let it stop them. Instead of letting time become a thief of their joy, they got a motor home and traveled the country with their fur baby, Maggie.
Patt was predeceased by her parents, Kinley and Alice McBride; her mother- and father-in-law, Joe and Dorothy Garner; her son and daughter-in-law, Brian and Kie Garner; her sister, Barbara McKinley; and her brother, Randall McBride.
She is survived by her loving husband, Bill Garner; her daughter and son-in-law, Karly and John Stelzer; her son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Sarah Garner; four grandchildren and spouses, Kenly and Jake Foust, Kyler Gaynor, Layla Garner and Porter Garner; and two great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Alice Foust.
