So sorry for your loss.
Our Deepest Sympathy to Family and Friends.
Mrs. Pat will be missed by many. She was always smiling.
Many good memories of her.
Prayers for the family…
RIP sweet lady. I have always admired you and loved you dearly. You will be missed by all.
Love and prayers for all.
Prayers for the family.
Though I didn't have the opportunity to know Mrs. Pat as long, nor as well as many of those she has left behind- what I do know about her is that she was a humble, kind and selfless soul that always wore a brave and beautiful smile (probably even when she didnt feel much like smiling) She did this for the benefit of those that loved her, because that's just what a selfless person does. I've observed this as an outsider looking in, as we have no blood relation. I came to know Mrs. Pat through her son Jason and his wife, Brianne's (my sister) marriage, but blood relative or not, Mrs. Pat never failed to extend a warm greeting, a kind word or welcome me into her home. In addition, the legacy Pat leaves behind, the FAMILY that she so lovingly raised and nurtured, speaks volumes about the kind of woman she was, because of the kind of people THEY grew up to be! It is evident that Mrs. Pat was greatly loved and admired and will be greatly missed by them all. I too, am glad to have known her. Condolences and prayers to the Harris family in the days to come as you remember Mrs. Pat and a life well lived….
I loved Pat. She was always so sweet to me. I know she will be missed terribly by so many. Prayers for all of you.

Miss Pat was a fixture in the community. Her contributions as a lady the other ladies dearly loved.
Her contributions made to hundreds will be her legacy.
My name is Cheryl Schoen from Texarkana AR. I shopped with Pat in Jefferson from the 1st month the store was opened. I've loved going to Jefferson for so many years and to Pat Ann's. My friend and I spent many hours shopping and visiting with Pat, especially at holidays. She and Ann always had the most delightful things. Pat was s delightful person, too .I've sorely missed her since her retirement. My heartfelt sympathies go out to her family.
I am heart broken to hear that my first cousin Pat has passed away! I Remember spending many a Christmas at our grandparents home in Arkansas with her, Marie and Homer and her sister Ann, my mother Ann Curtis and my Dad , Jay Curtis who was great buddies with Homer. Her Uncle Kenneth and Aunt Francis with their three children. Pat was a beautiful girl and so kind to me! The last time I saw her was in the 90’s along with Marie and Ann So very very sorry you have lost this lovely lady. I have a few pictures that I will send to the family in the coming weeks.
We are praying for you. Please let us know if we can do anything to help.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Harris family as I recall good times celebrated at the home of Cousins Mellie Luster and Amos over the years. Blessings to each of you.
