In Memory

Patricia May Sampler (Holt) - Class Of 1956

Patricia May Sampler (Holt)

Ms. Patricia M. Holt, age 75 or Marietta, GA, passed away on Friday evening, January 17, 2014.  Patricia was born on October 17, 1938, in Atlanta.  A service was held on Monday, January 20, 2014, at the chapel of Carmichael Funeral Home in Smyrna with Rev. Steve Unti officiating.  Interment followed the funeral service at Cheatham Hill Memorial Park Cemetery in Marietta. The family received friends at the funeral home from 2:00 until 5:00 PM.

Pat was an unpretentious, strong and determined woman who without question cared more for others than herself.  She valued people and ideas, not possessions.  She took pleasure in work, family, and friends.  Pat was well known by all of her friends and family for her cooking.  She was a true southern cook who cooked with the intention of using it as a tool to show love, grace and hospitality.  She was quick witted with a great sense of humor, making her guests feel welcome and at ease.  She always had kind words, infusing love in all she cooked and did.  Pat dedicated time to her family, as well as many friends.  She took care of everybody, not just family members.  She was a treasure who enriched our lives with love and support and will be terribly missed by all those who loved and admired her.  In addition to enjoying cooking for family and friends, just a few of her pastimes were playing Canasta, Dominos, Rummikub, and watching baseball and football.  She was a lifelong lover of animals and supporter of animal charities.  She had many dogs throughout her life, the present one, her faithful pal, "Dooter."

Pat is survived by her daughters and son-in-law Mellany and Richard Williamson of Marietta, and Rebecca Holt of Atlanta.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Atlanta Pet Rescue.

Pat was a dear friend in high school. We were welcomed at Pat's home always. I feel blessed to have known Pat and to have been her friend.

 I am saddened by Pat's passing, but know that our loving God has welcomed her.
