Patricia Jean Pratt Obituary (1919

Patricia Jean Pratt passed away peacefully at home in the loving presence of her children on August 15, 2014. Patricia was born on June 18, 1919, to Dr. Paul J. and Emily Nell Brown in Tulsa Oklahoma. Patricia was the eldest of three children, including a sister, Beverly Roberts, (deceased), and a brother, Michael P.A. Brown (Sue). She was an alumna of Sand Springs High School and Oklahoma A&M College (now O.S.U), where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi. She married her sweetheart since grade school, Charles R. (Dinty) Pratt, who preceded her in death, but who remained the one true love of her life until she joined him in eternity. Patricia was the loving mother to Gretchen Pugh (Owen), Christopher Stuart (deceased), Courtney Lynch, Whitney Austin (Steve), Kimberly Perdue (Michael) and Patrick Brett Pratt (Julie). Patricia's beloved grandchildren included Patrick Pugh (Diana), Jane Avila, Brian Wheeler, Amy Urbanek, Carson Lynch, Reagan Schoults (Dustin), Shayne Moore (Monte), Joshua Austin (Jennifer), Amanda Gumtow (Steve), Adam Austin (Carly), Blake Perdue (Julia), Ben Perdue (Megan), Barrett Perdue, Lauren Smith (Dylan), Alexandra Pratt, Ashley Pratt, and Sarah Pratt. She also had 22 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Patricia loved her family above all and that love was reciprocated with the deepest affection by everyone in Patricia's big, boisterous family. Few people could match Patricia's repertoire of music from the 1930's and 1940's. She knew the lyrics to hundreds of songs and she joyfully sang those songs virtually every day of her life. She loved playing golf at Tulsa Country Club for many years, and when she was no longer able to play, she watched golf on TV. Both college and NFL football were favorite pastimes, especially OU and OSU football. Patricia lived her 95 years to the fullest, always eager to experience each new day. She will be very missed by those whose lives she touched daily. In lieu of flowers the family asked memorial donations be made to Patricia's favorite charities, two of her very favorites were the First Presbyterian Church, 222 Adams Road, Sand Springs, OK 74063 and the Sand Springs Community Services, 114 West 4th Street, Sand Springs, OK 74063.
