Patsy Nadine Adkisson Phillips Peterson was born June 27, 1941. in Waldron, Kansas, daughter of Gerald Lee and Bertie Nadine (Jones) Adkisson. She grew up in Anthony, Kansas, graduating from Anthony High School with the Class of 1959. On December 21, 1958, Patsy was united in marriage to Jerry Lee Phillips of Argonia. The union was blessed with four children: Jeffrey Lee, Jeannette Lynne, Bradley Wayne, and Bryan Daniel. Jerry and Patsy made their home in Argonia, Kansas. Patsy was a farm wife, always putting her family first. She had her own set of tools and there was nothing she couldn't fix with a "little elbow grease and duct tape."
In 1975 the family purchased property near Walden in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and cleared the area for a cabin. They divorced in 1976. Patsy and the kids stayed in Argonia until the older three graduated from high school. She and her youngest son then moved to Wichita and later moved to Walden, Colorado, to be closer to her sons and enjoy the mountain life.
Patsy played on a competitive women's softball league and was a certified umpire for Little League Baseball. Patsy held three jobs, furthered her education, raised four kids, and participated in all their extra-curricular activities. She was a resilient woman and always found a way.
Patsy made a wonderful life for herself, her kids, and grandkids in Walden and adored her community. She started dating Darl Peterson in 1999. They started their lives together in June of 2002. Darl and Patsy spent every summer at Darl's property. They updated the two-room cabin to include solar electricity and propane gas to maintain a refrigerator and gas stove.
The duo played cards, including cribbage every morning. Darl usually won but it was quite the competition and hysterical to watch! Darl was the absolute love of Patsy's life and he treated her as the special lady she was.
Patsy was a master quilter and won many awards. One of her goals was to make sure every child and grandchild had one of her quilts to cherish. Most do, but sadly, due to health, Patsy was not able to complete that goal. She was active in the North Park Community Church serving where she could. She served her local and district United Methodist Women (UMW).
Patsy is preceded in death by her parents, Gerald and Nadine; her husband, Darl; her son, Brad; and two great-grandchildren, Lane and Naomi.
Patsy will be deeply missed by her brothers: Jerry Adkisson (Sharon) and Ernie Adkisson (Betty). Children: Jeff Phillips (Jeani); Jeannette Phillips; Bryan Phillips (Lorenza); and stepson, Darl G. Peterson. Her grandchildren, who lovingly referred to her as Grizzly Gran, Grizzy, G-Riz, Gran, Granny, Gma: Jani Wood (Travis), Johna Sereg (Brandon), Justin Phillips (Lindsey), Jared Phillips (Jess), Jesse Phillips (Jessica), Mick Blackwell (Kaylene), Tiffany Pillitteri (Aldo), Brittni Blackwell, Desiree Phillips, Dustin Phillips (Corra), Reannan Phillips (Jared Beets), Makenna Phillips, Nathan Phillips, Marina Phillips, Marcela Phillips, Isabela Phillips, Darl W.
