Patricia Lutz Obituary

Our beloved and extraordinary Pat passed away in the loving company of her family on June 10th. She was 90 years old.
She was born in Gladewater Texas in August 1934 and moved with her family to Gold Dust Louisiana as a child. She grew up in Gold Dust and attended Bunkie High School where she graduated in 1952 and met her future husband, Matt (M.C.). They married in 1953 in Natchez, MS at a Baptist parsonage. The pastor's wife and children served as witnesses. They attended college at USL in Lafayette LA where they started their family and began a long, successful and happy life together. They were married 72 years.
Pat was an exceptionally attractive woman (and local beauty queen) but she was most strikingly and memorably a genuinely beautiful soul and spirit. She had an open, kind and generous good nature. She believed in treating everyone with courtesy and kindness. Pat possessed a quiet grace and understated elegance. She believed in always looking nice and being nice to all.
She was also a deceptively strong, resolute and independent woman who, due to her husband Matt's career, was often raising and caring for her four children on her own. She was a full and essential partner in her family's success both in business and in life. Later as adults her children would reminisce that their ever ladylike mom could reach every square inch of a car interior with her sandal disciplining her rambunctious kids while driving.
Her strong and quietly competitive nature showed itself in small ways, in her long ago bowling leagues and bridge clubs where she most assuredly liked to win. She held various jobs over the years but was always most content in the company of her husband and family. In their retirement she loved road trips with Matt and her many longtime friends. She enjoyed scouring small town Texas for antiques and unique items, especially jewelry. She also loved the physical outdoor hard work of improving their Bosque County ranch property. She loved holidays and enjoyed decorating her home for every occasion particularly Christmas. She wanted her home to be warm and welcoming to all; and it was.
She was a woman of deep faith, a lifelong Baptist, and charter member of the Eola Baptist Church in Louisiana. Pat was fully confident of her final destination. Today she has joined the hosts of heaven where she is now freed from the maladies that afflicted her body in her last years. We know she is laughing and enjoying the company of all the family and friends who have gone before her. She is likely indulging her sweet tooth with a great dessert topped with both ice cream and whipped cream.
She was preceded in death by her parents Herman and Sallie McLeod Feazel, her brother H.M., and beloved sister Billie Feazel Duet; along with many loved relatives, in-laws, and friends. She leaves to love and miss her forever her husband of 72 years M.C. (Matt), her four children Matt, Cyndy, Tracey and Clay (Nickie) Lutz, her grandchildren Allyson and Colter, her brothers and sisters-in-law, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family and friends. The family wishes to thank her caregivers at Washington Pointe and Home Instead.
Visitation and service of remembrance were held at Brown's Memorial Funeral Home, Irving TX. Burial and graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at White's Chapel Cemetery, Gold Dust Louisiana.
Memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Pat's memory.
