Patsy Crystal Stuart

Patsy Crystal Stuart, our beloved bundle of joy and mischief, left this wild ride called life on January 17, 2025, at the grand age of 80, surrounded by her loving family in Southaven, MS. Born on November 16, 1944, in the small yet vibrant town of Harrisburg, AR, she was a force to be reckoned with from day one.

As a Domestic Homemaker, Patsy wore many hats, but her shining crown was that of a Great Mother to her seven wonderful children: Lisa (Kenny) Allen, Michael (Misty) Stuart, Julie Maples, Victoria (Loren) Beek, Stephanie (Barry) Hildreth, Stephen Stuart, and Adam Stuart. With her trademark feistiness and 'no filter' attitude, she tackled motherhood head-on, raising her brood with love, laughter, and a bit of sparkly chaos. Who else could say they raised not just one, but SEVEN kids while maintaining her free spirit?

Patsy’s life was a dazzling dance number, showcasing her passion for cutting a rug and moving to the rhythms of life. If there was music playing, you could bet your bottom dollar she was dancing! She adored the joyous tunes of Dolly Parton and could likely give her a run for her money on the dance floor. But her talents didn't stop there! Behind green thumbs, Patsy could also be found in her beloved garden, nurturing flowers that were almost as vibrant as her personality. And let’s not forget her adventurous spirit—with a penchant for the thrill of the casino, she knew how to win at life!

Patsy's zest for life wasn't just limited to her passions; she relished every moment spent with family. A proud Sister to Pamela (Donnie) Primm and the adored matriarch of a large clan, she filled her home with a joyful cacophony of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews—she truly was the glue that held everyone together, even if it meant laying down some fierce challenges along the way!

Though she now joins her loving husband, William E. Stuart, affectionately known as "Billy,” and her cherished parents, Winford and Geraldine McKeown, we can only imagine the dance party happening up there among the stars. They’re likely tapping their feet to the delightful melodies, celebrating Patsy’s fiery spirit just like we will here on Earth.

Patsy Crystal Stuart might have departed our earthly realm, but her legacy of love, laughter, and twenty-four-seven dance parties will forever twirl around in our hearts. Cheers to a truly memorable woman who embraced life with open arms and a heart that was big enough to hold all of us!
