Patricia Ann (Margerum) Nelson, age 94, passed away on December 3, 2023. She was born September 3, 1929 in Palacios, Texas to Ruby (Sullivan) Margerum and Arthur Margerum. She married Alton Nelson in April 1961 who tragically preceded her in death in 1971.

Patricia loved many things in life but of utmost importance; Her family, Texas and Coca Cola. She was a Southern woman to her very core, always full of wit, sass and stories that in true southern fashion, were embellished a bit as the years went on. Though we will miss her tremendously, she was anticipating her reunion with those who have gone before her, and she is finally home. May she rest peacefully and gracefully forever.

Patricia is predeceased by her father Arthur Trine Margerum and mother Ruby (Sullivan) Margerum, her sister Beulah, her dear husband Alton Gordon Nelson, and beloved daughter Sabrina Jane Nelson. Patricia is survived by her son Trine Nelson, daughter-in-law Jennifer Cody, her grandchildren Courtney (Nelson) Harden,
Ronald Vail, Candace Nelson and Katie (Cody) Tochtrop, great grandchildren Dominic, Jaxton, Adriana, Skylar, Elijah, Charlotte, Augustus and Mack. Beloved Aunt Pat and friend to many.
