OWENSBORO, Ky. — Patsy D. Stroud, 82, of Owensboro, passed away Friday, Dec. 7, 2018, at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Mrs. Stroud was born Oct. 19, 1936, in Centertown, Kentucky.
Patsy grew up and attended school in Centertown with her future husband, Bob Stroud. She was a long-standing member of Third Baptist Church.
Patsy was a very selfless and outgoing person who earned the nickname “the Energizer Bunny” because she never slowed down. She loved the outdoors and working in her yard and taking walks with friends. Patsy was crazy about her grandsons and spending time with them.
Mrs. Stroud was preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Robert “Bob” Stroud, in 2011, and her parents, Mattie and J.P. Button.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Debbie Ray and husband, Rodney, of Owensboro; grandsons, Lucas Ray and Jacob Ray and his wife, Cassidy; great-grandchildren, Harper, Charley and Holden Ray; brother, David Button (Jo); sisters, Diane Haynes (David) and Betty Maddox (Larry); sister-in-law and good friend, Marita Stroud; and several nieces and nephews.
The visitation and a time of sharing for Patsy Stroud will be 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory. Interment will be at Owensboro Memorial Gardens.
