Patsy Mary Jane Crockett passed away at the age of 83 on April 14, 2026, at Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport, Tennessee. She spent years quietly improving the lives of patients, family, and fellow churchgoers with her dependable presence and compassionate heart. The Southwest Virginia community centered around Marion is quietly remembering her life.
Born on February 10, 1943, in Kingsport, Tennessee, Patsy carried the values of her early years into adulthood while making Marion, Virginia, her home, where she wove together family ties and community bonds that defined her gentle approach to everyday living.
She stood out as a hardworking and devoted woman whose faith shaped her every interaction, uplifting her Lord through simple acts of kindness and compassion that made those around her feel truly seen and valued in moments both ordinary and challenging.
That same spirit found full expression in her fulfilling 31-year career as a certified nursing assistant at Valley Healthcare Center in Chilhowie, where she took deep pride in placing the needs of others first and created a legacy of thoughtful care that colleagues still speak of with warmth.
An active member of Valley View Baptist Church, Patsy cherished the bonds of her church family and extended her unwavering faith by supporting the Hadassah House in Atkins, drawing quiet strength from these connections that anchored her days with purpose and grace.
Recent funeral services at Bradley’s Funeral Home Chapel in Marion, officiated by Pastor Mike Sage, along with the graveside gathering at Gardener’s Chapel Cemetery in Scott County, allowed loved ones to honor her memory as she leaves behind son Terry Crockett, grandchildren Charles and Brandy Bise, great-grandchildren Braelyn Bise and Bella Adams, sister Tempi Davidson, and a wide circle of friends from her work and church who will long remember her love, faith, and devotion.
