Patsy Jean Strong

Patsy Jean Strong, born Parker, passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 18, 2026, at the age of 92.
Patsy was born December 23, 1933, to Robert and Elva (Romine) Parker. She grew up as the oldest in a large family, and caring for the people she loved would remain an important part of who she was throughout her life.
In 1962, Patsy welcomed her only son, Robin Cameron Williams. Being Robin's mother was one of the greatest joys of her life. She loved him deeply and devoted herself to raising him, always making sure he was cared for and knew he had a mother he could count on. Years later, Robin gave her another role that would become one of the greatest joys of her life: Granny.
At Granny's house, there was always something special waiting. Her grandchildren knew to check the desk as soon as they arrived because she kept it stocked with stickers, little treats, and surprises just for them. Years later, their own children would run to that same desk to see what Granny had waiting for them.
Patsy adored her great-grandchildren. She taught them how to peel pears, took them to the park to gather pecans, had them help pull weeds and water her garden, and rocked them to sleep in her chair when they were little. She simply loved having her family around her, and many of the little things her grandchildren remembered from their own childhoods were passed down to another generation.
Christmas at Granny's was special. Every year she made Christmas candy for the family, and she loved putting together her little Christmas villages with ceramic houses, tiny ice-skating rinks, and all the little pieces that brought them to life.
She also loved cookbooks and would often write notes inside them before passing them along to her family. Those cookbooks are now fi lled with more than recipes; they carry little pieces of her with them.
Patsy had a way of showing people she loved them by taking care of them. It was in the new shoes and coats, the homemade cookies, the new jeans before the fi rst day of school, the favorite snacks she made sure were waiting when someone came to visit, and the little surprises tucked inside that desk.
With Patsy, you never had to wonder if she'd been thinking about you. She made sure you knew.
Patsy is survived by her son, Robin Cameron Williams and his wife, Cynthia; her grandchildren, Hannah Soto and her husband, Longinos, Cameron Williams and his wife,
Chloe, Jacqueline Casey, and William Casey; and her great-grandchildren, Rylee, Vincent, Emily, Carter, Hayden, Jacee, Joseph, Jaden, Josiah, and Aubrey.
She is also survived by her sisters, Linda Parker and Sue Burk, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.
Patsy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Elva Parker; her brothers, Robert "Sonny" Parker, Dennis Parker, Jim Parker, Dan Parker, and Mike Parker; and her sisters, Kay Cochran, Shirley Adams, and Darla Evans.
Patsy leaves behind 92 years of stories, recipes, handwritten notes, Christmas candy, family traditions, and a lifetime of little things that will remind her family of her for years to come.
She was a beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend. But if you were lucky enough to call her Granny, you knew just how special she was.
She was simply the best.
