Patricia A. Billingsley
(August 10, 1939 — December 18, 2024)
Patricia was born in Warrior, Alabama, on August 10, 1939. She graduated from Woodlawn High School and went on to attend the University of Alabama.
She and her husband, Frank, moved several times during their life together. Patricia made close, life-long friends in every place they lived. Her family would joke that she could make a friend while on a trip to the grocery store (it was funny because it was true).
Outside of her relationship with God, nothing was more important to Patricia than family, both immediate and extended. She loved hosting large family gatherings at the home she and Frank shared for the last 37 years. Most recently, she hosted nearly 40 people for the Thanksgiving Holiday. All who were there will never forget it because it was the last of a years-long family tradition.
Patricia excelled in many areas of life. For example, she was a successful relator at one point and a successful retail business owner at another. But she was best in her roles as a wife, mother, and grandmother. Her husband, kids, and grandchildren attest to that fact. They all adored her, a feeling that was entirely mutual.
Survivors include her husband of 62 years, H. Frank Billingsley; children, Jason (Maidy) Billingsley, Stacey (John) Moses, and Michael (Stephanie) Billingsley; grandchildren Barrett and Anna Katherine Billingsley; and her siblings Jimmy (Barbara) Anderson, Sandra (David) Smith, and Gail Thomas. She was preceded in death by her parents, Boysie and Ethel Anderson.
The funeral service was held at 11:00AM, December 21, 2024, at the Vestavia Church of Christ, where Patricia was a faithful member for more than 35 years. Visitation began at 10:00AM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or the Alzheimer’s Association.
