Patsy R. Karr

Patsy Karr, 74, the matriarch of the Karr family died Tuesday at her home in Monmouth of natural
causes. Patsy is survived by her husband of 57 years, David Karr, four grown children, two brothers, and
seven grandchildren. She was surrounded by her loving family as she passed.
Patty was born Patsy Deason in DeRidder, Louisiana on November 27th of 1946 and was the only
daughter of the late Ruth and Elvin Deason. She spent most of her childhood reigning in her three
younger brothers Mike, Richard, and John Deason.
Patty spent most of her life as a best friend to her husband David, and a loving mother to her four
children (Elizabeth, David, Kristine, and Katherine). Patty wanted nothing but to be the best mother to
her children and to any child that came into her home. She never hesitated to deliver the forgotten
homework or lunch and was usually awake and waiting when a child arrived home past curfew. She also
loved to travel and had driven across the United States many times, stopping to enjoy the local
monuments and celebrations. Patsy had visited all the states. In addition to travel Patty enjoyed
spending time in her garden and perhaps even a good slot machine at the local casino when she was
feeling lucky. But her favorite thing was being surrounded by her family at home while enjoying good
food and drink with some Van Morrison or Willie Nelson playing in the background.
The family has chosen to celebrate Patsy’s passing in private. If Patsy touched your life, and you wish to
show your love for her the family recommends planting any of her favorite flowers, such as canna lilies,
peonies, and tulips. She will surely admire them from above.
