Patsy Ruth Prator Clement

On February 14, 2026, our beloved mother went home to be with the Lord, joyfully celebrating Valentine’s Day once again with her beloved husband, James.

Patsy was born on August 18, 1933, in Scottsboro, Alabama, to Alger and Bertha Prator. At a young age, her family moved to Sadler, Texas, where she attended school through the eighth grade. Like many families of that time, she helped by picking cotton and tending to daily chores, learning early the values of hard work and dedication.

At just 16 years old, Patsy married the love of her life, James Clement, on July 5, 1950. He lovingly called her “Pat,” a name that stayed with her throughout their 67 years of marriage. Together they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and hard work, raising four children.

Patsy devoted herself to her home and family. She worked alongside James on the farm, planting a large garden to provide food for the family, raising calves to sell, and tending her chickens. No matter how long James worked during the day, he always came home to a hot meal prepared with love.

As their children grew older, Patsy went to work at the Austin College restaurant, where she became known for her sweet desserts and pastries. In 1999, when James was working as a carpenter, he and many others built Patsy Café in Pottsboro, Texas—a dream that became a true family endeavor. Nearly every member of the family worked there at some point, including the grandchildren. Patsy cherished her customers and treated them like family.

In her spare time, she enjoyed canning jellies and vegetables, quilting, and listening to Jim Reeves or watching Gene Autry on television. James would often say, “Honey, I know you’re feeling good when you’re over at the table sewing.” Each of us treasures the quilts she made and the memories stitched into every one.

Patsy was preceded in death by her husband, James, in 2017; her parents; two brothers, James and Paul; four sisters, Gertrude, Mildred, Hazel, and Mary; and son in law, Ernest.

She is survived by her children: Patti Thomas and partner Eddie Haile; Robert Clement and wife Susie; Bridget Randles and husband Bennie; and Curtis Clement and wife Susan. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Anthony Thomas and wife Brenda; Tricha Hayes and husband Billy; Jennifer Randles and husband Craig; Brandon Clement and fiancée Bailey; Justin Clement and wife Courtney, Leslie Connors and husband Everett, Amy Clemons and husband Cody; and Patti Clark and husband Craig.

Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Taylin, Brody, Bristol, Copeland, Everlee, Bridget, Cedric, Nicholas, Charlotte, Emilie, Camden, Corbin, and Nash, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff and nurses’ aides at Cedar Hollow for caring for our mother as their own, and to Guardian Hospice nurse Kelley for her compassionate care.

Patsy was a faithful member of Georgetown Baptist Church in Pottsboro, Texas. Her life was a testament to love, faith, hard work, and devotion to family. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and sweet memories that will live on in all of us.

A service will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., with visitation from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. prior to the service at Johnson-Moore Pottsboro Chapel, 511 W. FM 120, Pottsboro, Texas. Interment will follow at Georgetown Cemetery.

Jason Wade Clark, age 52, passed away at home on January 24, 2026, in McKinney, Texas. He was just a few days short of his 53rd birthday on January 26, 1973 (born in Harris County, TX).

Jason was a man with a love of family and friends and strong loyalties to both. He enjoyed the things that made you stop and take stock of your life. He loved camping, having BBQs, watching NASCAR, or the Houston Texans. But then, just riding around on his John Deere tractor could bring him such joy. Those who knew Jason best will remember his love for his dogs and the straightforward, genuine way he lived his life.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Karyn Clark; his son, Brady Clark, and stepsons Jamie and Justin Reeves; his father, Michael Wayne Clark; and his mother and stepfather, Pamela Jane and Rudy Avila; and his five siblings, Debbie, Pam, Robert, Rudy Jr., Steve, and Daryl. Jason was also blessed with many nieces and nephews.

Margie Marie Wilson

October 19, 1933 - January 23, 2026

My mom, Margie Marie Wilson, was married to Vurlas Lane Wilson, who worked for the Katy Railroad in Denison as a welder and was also a farmer who repaired equipment, especially bulldozers. She made sure she could work if needed by becoming a cosmetology graduate with a Texas license. She never needed to work outside the home but lovingly did her family’s hair.

She was a wonderful seamstress, making beautiful clothes for me and my brother, Jackie Lane, as well as quilts, and she crocheted and knitted sweaters and afghans. She was also an artist, painting beautiful pictures that friends and family cherished. She made birthday cakes with fantastic decorative flower designs, played the guitar, and sang country and western songs, teaching me—her daughter, Connie—to sing and play the guitar.

Margie planted vegetable gardens to feed her family and helped Daddy care for the sheep and cows we raised. She loved hunting for arrowheads, digging for antique bottles in old dumps, fishing at Lake Texoma, and especially fishing in the tanks (ponds) Daddy made with his bulldozers.

After Daddy retired from the Katy Railroad, they bought a camping trailer and traveled to Florida, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, enjoying camping and fishing together.

Margie is survived by daughter Connie Strattman and husband Stephen, Connie's daughter Christy McKinney and husband Shane who have 2 daughters, Chase and Alyssa: Connie's daughter Amy Prisk and husband Josh.

There is not a service scheduled at this time.
