Patricia Sheffield Erwin, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 4, 2025, in Linden, Texas, just days shy of her 72nd birthday.

Known for her kind heart, radiant smile, and ability to make everyone feel loved and welcome, Patricia touched all who knew her. Her family was her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Howard W. and Bertha Sheffield. She is survived by her devoted husband of 50 years, 7 months, and 3 days, Mr. Buddy Erwin; her son, Shayne Erwin; her daughter, Tracie Arnold, and her husband Ben; her adored grandchildren, Chase Bynum and Cade Bynum; her sister, Donna Hays, and her husband Brian; her brother, Bill Sheffield; and her best friend and “sister by choice” of over 60 years, Sharon Shelton. She also leaves behind a host of beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and countless friends who will forever treasure her memory.
Patricia’s life was a testament to faith, family, and service. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to bloom in the hearts of those she touched.
