Patricia ‘Pat’ Joan Tuttle Botsford passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on February 7, 2018.
She was born February 18, 1933 in Petersburg, IL. Pat will forever be remembered as a profoundly kind, intelligent, funny and spirited friend. She was a dedicated daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and Gigi.
Pat spent her life in service of others alongside her husband and best friend Ronald Arthur Botsford. Their marriage spanned 60 years, 17 moves and has been an inspiration to all who have known them together. Many of her days were spent trying to keep Ron out of too much trouble and curbing some of his many pursuits. Above all things, theirs has been a marriage filled with love.
She lived a life filled with travel, service, gardening, music, and family. She was a passionate believer in leaving the earth better than you found it. She recycled before it was cool, and served on the Earth Care Congregation Committee at Black Mountain Presbyterian.
Pat will forever be missed by her sister Phyllis Hedden; her daughters Cheryl Wilson and Michelle Palmer; her 3 grandchildren, Matthew Wilson, Brittany Wilson Williams (Chad), Brian Gavaghan; and her 5 great-grandchildren Julee, Kevyn, Britnee, Charlie, and Keaton.
Pat’s wonderful life will be celebrated Saturday, February 10th, 2018 at 4 pm. Services will be held at Black Mountain Presbyterian Church and family will receive visitors after the service in the Narthex.
Please wear purple, Pat’s favorite color.
In lieu of flowers Pat would have loved for donations to be made in her memory to: SVCM Hope for Tomorrow, PO Box 235, Black Mountain, NC 28711.
