Patricia Ann Parr

March 15, 1951, to July 29, 2025

Patricia Ann Parr, affectionately known as "Pat," passed away peacefully on July 29,

2025, surrounded by care and love. Born in Bay City, Texas, to Audrey Bouldin and

Professor Spencer, Patricia lived a life of faith, warmth, and unwavering strength.

She spent many years in Austin, Texas, where she shared a loving life with her

husband, Walter Parr. A devoted woman of God, Patricia served as Mother of the

Church, known for her tireless volunteering, strong spirit, and gift of speaking truth

with grace. She was witty, funny, and unapologetically herself, always ready with wisdom,

warmth, or a laugh. She often said, "Don't take no wooden nickels," a phrase that

perfectly captured her charm and no-nonsense spirit.

Her faith, her fierceness, and her love made lasting impressions on everyone who knew

her. She loved her family deeply and took great pride in them. After the passing of

her brother, his granddaughters, her nieces became "her girls" and she adored them as her

own, offering them wisdom, and unconditional love.

Patricia is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Donald Spencer. She is

survived by her two children, Charles Spencer of Bay City, Texas, and Tina Dunbar of

Powder Springs, Georgia, with whom she spent her final years and days, her sisters,

Brandi Spencer of Houston, TX, and Cassandra Maxey of Fort Smith, AR; and a host

of nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends who will forever carry her in

their hearts.

Her favorite scripture was: "The joy of the Lord is our strength"; – Nehemiah 8:10

Patricia was cremated in accordance with her wishes. Her final resting place will be

at Houston National Cemetery, beside her beloved husband.

In honor of her memory, donations may be made to the American Stroke Association.

Patricia Ann Parr lived boldly, laughed freely, and loved deeply. Her legacy lives on

in all who knew and loved her.

Her Celebration of life will be held on Saturday August 16, 2025, at 11:00 AM

at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, 1206 Avenue C Bay City, TX 77414.

To the Parr Family, we at Greener Pastures Funeral Home, extend to you our deepest sympathy & condolences.

Our prayers remain that your abiding faith in God will continue to comfort, to strengthen and sustain you during your time of bereavement.
