Patti R. Barnes, 49, of Destin, FL passed away Wednesday, September 29, 2010.
Patti was born on October 5, 1960 in Pensacola, FL. She was a 1978 graduate of J. M. Tate High School. Patti earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Troy State University. She was an accomplished business woman in retail management, and enjoyed meeting and assisting customers from many different places during her career.
Patti found great joy in the love she expressed to her family. She will always be remembered for her continued dedication and never ending compassion for each member of her family. Her two greatest loves were spending free time on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast and taking photographs of her nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Patti never missed an opportunity to spend time with her nieces and nephews as she was more that an aunt, but a mom and attended every extracurricular activity possible.
Her parents, Roswell and Herberta (Bert) Barnes preceded Patti in death.
She is survived by her sisters, Debra Matthews (Chris) of Marianna, FL, Nell McElhaney (John) of Cantonment, FL; brother, Steve Barnes of Destin, FL; nieces and nephews, Shane, Deena, Tara, Melissa and Melanie; great nieces and great nephews, Madison, Kaylee, Brantley, Carson, Mason, and Ava Claire.
