Patricia Ann Brown

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Patricia Ann Brown, affectionately known as Pat, on October 17, 2025, in Rockport, Texas. Born on September 30, 1949, in Athens, Texas, Pat brought joy and warmth to everyone she met. A proud graduate of Athens High School, she married the love of her life, Keith Brown, on March 7, 1981. Their bond was a true testament to love, and she cherished every moment spent with him, even after his passing. 

Pat devoted her career to serving others at Chase Bank, where she excelled in commercial accounts. Her dedication to her work was matched only by her love for her friends and family. She had an incredible ability to light up any room she entered and was loved deeply by all who knew her. 

Pat is survived by her cherished son, Steely Ballow (Joni), three wonderful grandchildren, Leila Ballow, Gavin McKee, and Jaclyn McKee, as well as her loving sister, Elaine Kirksy. Each of them will carry her spirit forward, finding solace in the love and memories they shared. Pat's legacy of love and friendship will forever remain in our hearts, and we will continue to celebrate the beautiful person she was.
