Pamela Denise (Orr) Patterson

Pamela Denise Patterson, 51, of Robbinsville, NC, went home to be with the Lord on September 18, 2021, at her residence after a long fight with lung disease.

A native of Graham County, she was the daughter of D.L. and Margaret Orr.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Perry Millsaps, and her sisters, Deborah Carpenter and Michelle Anderson.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her husband, Conway Patterson; her children, Holly Gomez, Cayla Grant, Colbie Patterson and Conway Trey Patterson; her brothers and sisters, Patrick and Angela Orr, Allen and Jennifer Dockery, Jack Carpenter, and Dennis Anderson, all of Robbinsville, NC, and John and Barbie Orr of Maryville, TN. 

Pamela had several beloved nieces and nephews whom she was very close to.  She never met a stranger and had many friends that she loved dearly.  Her grandchildren, Leah, Kennedi, Patrick Jr., Kingsley, Paisley and Keilan were the joy of her life.  She was an avid gardener and loved her beautiful flowers.  Now she is walking the streets of gold and viewing the Lord’s masterpiece.
