In Loving Memory of Patricia "Pat" Childrey

With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Patricia "Pat" Childrey. Patricia leaves behind a legacy of love as a cherished mother to Jason Childrey Sr., Servina Cortez, and Kareema Cortez, and a proud, adoring grandmother to Jason Childrey Jr. and Jada Childrey.

Born on February 9, 1965, Patricia grew up surrounded by warmth, laughter, and love, shaping her into the compassionate and generous soul we all knew.

Known affectionately as "Pat," she had an undeniable flair for fashion and interior design, passions that reflected her vibrant personality. Patricia had a gift for styling others—not just to ensure they looked their best, but to make sure they felt their best too. She believed that confidence started from within and radiated outward. Patricia was a god-fearing woman who gave freely, loved deeply, and had a unique ability to make those who crossed her path feel like family.

Her infectious smile, joyful spirit, and selflessness touched countless lives and will never be forgotten. Though she is no longer with us, Patricia’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be missed more than words can express.

WHEN I AM GONE - When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each have shown, but now it is time I travelled alone. So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part so bless the memories within your heart. I won’t be far away, for life goes on so if you need me, call and I will come. Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near and if you listen with your heart, you will hear all of my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile, and say “Welcome Home.
