Melanie King (C/O 88) Formerly of Apopka, Florida says
Pat was always so kind to me. When I lost my Dad in 2014 she was a shoulder to cry on and checking on me when she would see me working at Bealls. I appreciate her friendship and glad to have known her my whole life. Prayers and hugs to all of you.

How sorry I am to learn of the passing of Patricia Hooper—a very multi-talented lady of Christian faith.
She seemed to be able to produce anything—even with one hand behind her back.
She shared her God-given gifts with others, perhaps the reason she was blessed with so many.
There would be a line up at the door prior to the opening of the Methodist Church bazaar, rushing to purchase Pat’s homemade cinnamon buns before their ‘sellout.’ Her chicken salad was also in demand.
How fortunate Apopka has been to have had Pat as a resident who has now been called to her new home with our Heavenly Father.
May fond memories bring peace and comfort to her family and friends. Elizabeth (Betty) Baab

She was the Queen of the Chicken Pot Pie. She had a wonderful knack in the kitchen. I will always look up to her. We have lost a kind and gracious soul. My condolences to her grieving family. A woman of grace.
