The circumstances surrounding the fire remain under investigation. Authorities are working to determine what caused the blaze and what ultimately led to Patsy’s death.

Her memory will continue through those who knew her, loved her, and carry her story forward.
May Patsy Elder rest in eternal peace. May her family and loved ones find strength and comfort during this heartbreaking time.
