Patty worked for 25 years until the closing of Anchor Hocking in Clarksburg as a general laborer. She was a very “hands on” lady who enjoyed crocheting, cake decorating, cooking for her family at holiday meals and reading. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who loved spending time with her family and will be greatly missed by everyone she knew.
Patty’s family has chosen to remember her with these words:
“A million times we’ve missed you, a million times we’ve cried. If love could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you never went alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home.”
In accordance with Patty’s wishes, there will be no funeral home visitation. Her wishes for cremation have been honored, and her ashes will be spread on her family’s property in Enterprise and her son’s grave in Lost Creek.
A Memorial Service will be held at a later date at the East View Community Center, where family and friends will be welcome to share memories to celebrate her life.
The family of Patricia Faye Eakle has entrusted her funeral arrangements to the care of Burnside Funeral Home, 607 S. Virginia Ave., Bridgeport.
