Patsy Baxter Fox, "Tootsie," went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, the 29th of October 2015, after a courageous three year battle with cancer.

Patsy was born on the 13th of November 1946 in the Panhandle town of Lockney Texas, where she grew up on the family farm, and in High School she was elected Head Cheerleader, Homecoming Queen and Most Beautiful. She graduated from West Texas State University, where she met, fell in love with and married. She and her husband would have celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary later this month.

After college the couple packed their bags and commenced their life adventure, moving to Houston. Patsy and her husband remained in Houston for the entirety of their marriage. They were blessed with three children including a daughter, Lori Del Fox, who tragically died soon after her birth.

Patsy loved life, travel, adventure, seeking out new and exciting places, and never tired of searching for that special antique table or unique piece of furniture. She would talk at length to anyone she captured about her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, her kids and grandkids, and politics; all of which she embraced with a zeal that only she could exhibit. Patsy loved a cold beer and a hamburger just as well as the finest Bordeaux and rack of lamb, but her greatest joy came from pampering and spoiling her grandchildren.

Patsy volunteered for countless civic organizations, including River Oaks Garden Club, Bo's Place, Freedom Place, and St. John the Divine Episcopal Church. She served on the Founding Board of the Hospice at the Texas Medical Center, which was the predecessor of Houston Hospice.
