Patricia J. “Pat” (Harmon) Grove, age 81 of Olney, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday February 14, 2018 at her residence.

Pat was born on August 1, 1936 in Richland County, the daughter of Harvey and Pearl (Novak) Harmon.

She loved the Lord with all of her heart and was a member of First Assembly of God in Olney for many years. She volunteered at the Good Samaritan in Olney with her husband and church family. She enjoyed being a greeter at church and meeting new people. She loved drinking coffee at McDonald’s with her friends every morning. She loved doing puzzles and playing cards with her family and friends. She loved going shopping and traveling to different places, especially Branson with her husband. She had a knack for hummingbirds and would always have 20 or more at her house every year she would feed. When she was younger she would go square dancing and has always enjoyed socializing with people. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and she truly loved and enjoyed her grandchildren. She loved going and watching them play or coach different sports and would never miss a game.
