Patsy Barnett passed into the arms of her creator early in the morning of August 15, 2022 after a fierce battle with COVID and pneumonia. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Wanda Heule, and is survived by her brother, Lonnie Finley, her daughter, Neaomi Finley, her seven grandchildren, her fourteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Patsy was an unstoppable force of nature who had faced insurmountable challenges for nearly her entire life, and still managed to come out on top of it all. She felt a deep connection to her Mother Earth and did her best to enrich the lives of those she loved. She will be dearly missed, and her fighting spirit will carry on through those who remember her.
