Patricia Ann (Perry) Bodkin, 79, of Royse City, Texas, went to be with our Lord in Heaven on July 23, 2020. She was born to Harold Ray Perry and Nellie Lou (Shafer) Perry, on May 1, 1941, in Beckley, West Virginia.

Pat was gifted at most anything that involved creativity and making life beautiful. Her personalized gifts were treasured by all who received them, including crocheted blankets, handmade jewelry, and cards. She was an incredible gardener whose year-round creations were a sight to see. Her landscape oil paintings don the walls of her lovely home for all who enter to enjoy. Pat was also an avid reader, whose bookcase was a testament to her insatiable love of books. Pat treasured her family most of all, and her most important roles were that of wife, mother and grandmother.

Pat is survived by her loving husband of 58 years: W. Royce Bodkin; daughters: Heather Thornton and husband Michael of Fort Worth, TX, Jennifer Rogers and husband David of Royse City, TX, and Stacy Robinson and husband Doug of Richardson, TX; grandsons: Colin Thornton, Joshua Thornton, Samuel Robinson, and Daniel Robinson; brother: Conrad Perry of Houston, TX; and sister: Lisa Perry of Katy, TX. Pat is preceded in death by her mother and father.
