Patricia DeBord Lintner passed away on July 8, 2025, at Haywood Regional Medical Center following a brief illness. She was born on May 28, 1943, in Whittier, North Carolina, and grew up in Warren, Michigan.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Agnes Springer Stillwell, and her stepfather, Willard Stillwell. (She was also the daughter of Bennett DeBord.) Pat was known for her fierce independence, fun-loving spirit, and deep generosity-never hesitating to help others, even offering shelter on her porch to someone in need. She was a member of Order of the Eastern Star.
Pat leaves behind many dear friends, especially Debra, Suzann, Martin, her special cousin, Ginger, and her beloved fur baby, Izzy.
In accordance with her wishes, there will be no funeral. Those who knew Pat are invited to honor her memory by keeping her spirit alive in the stories they share and the kindness they extend to others.
Smoky Mountain Cremations and Funeral Service of Maggie Valley is caring for the family and the online register is available at www.smokymountaincremations.com.
