Patsy moved to Flint, Michigan in 1957, where she attended Baker Junior College. She was introduced to her husband Henry Limbrick by her brother Henry. Patsy and Henry married on August 15, 1959. Out of this union, three daughters were born. Patsy was very active in her daughter's school lives, where she could often be found volunteering to help. Eventually, her volunteer work turned into her occupation. Patsy retired from the Flint Board of Education as a home school counselor on January 22, 1999. Patsy accepted Christ as her personal Savior. She truly loved the Lord and was ever faithful to serve him and would witness about him to anyone she could. Patsy has been and active member of Mt.

Patsy was loved by everyone she met, and she had a special place in her heart for children, most of all, her six grandchildren.
