Patsy Marie Hothan

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Patsy Marie Hothan of Titusville, Florida, who left us peacefully on December 24, 2024, at the age of 84.  Born on December 12, 1940, in Moscow Mills, Missouri to Larry O.D. Parsons and Annabelle (Rybolt) Runge.  Patsy spent her life creating lasting memories with her family and friends.

Patsy was a woman of many talents and interests.  She had a deep love for sewing and quilting, often crafting beautiful, handmade pieces that will continue to be cherished by those who received them.  Her passion for baking was equally remarkable, and the smell of her freshed baked treats will be fondly remembered by all who had them.  In her free time, Patsy also enjoyed bowling, where her competitive spirit and warm heart made her a beloved presence in every league she participated in.  She had a lifelong love for playing cards, a hobby she enjoyed from a young age and often enjoyed with loved ones.  Her exceptional green thumb brought life to her garden, where she cultivated beauty for all to enjoy.

As a dedicated member of St. Theresa Catholic Church, Patsy found comfort and community in her faith.  Her commitment to both her family and her church was unwavering, and she was a constant source of support and inspiration to all who knew her.

“Patti” was married to the love of her life, Bob Hothan for 31 wonderful years.  Together they built a life full of love, laughter, and cherished memories.  Patsy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, always putting the needs of others before her own.
