Patricia Jean Bailey Witherspoon, 95, went home to Jesus on October 1, 2020. Patricia was born to Muriel and Alfred M. Bailey on August 3, 1925 in Denver, Colorado. She had one sister, Beth Murphy. She graduated from East High School and earned her degree from University of Colorado. She married James Witherspoon on June 28, 1947. They celebrated 50 years of marriage before his passing in 1998. Pat was a Kindergarten teacher, traveled the world with her father and was a lecturer for the National Audubon Society. She was a loving, devoted mother who was very active in the church. She was in the Salvation Army Auxiliary, participated in Bible Study Fellowship, and treasured her tea group. She also had a food nutrition business with her husband for many years.

We will miss her beautiful smile, kind spirit, and unwavering faith in God.

To the entire family, my heart goes out to you, Pat was a wonderful woman. She and my Mom, Georgia (Bailey) Evans, were close friends for many years. I know they are celebrating now together in Heaven. God Blessed us to have them both in our lives!
