Patsy Clark Hollander

Our loving mother Patsy Clark Hollander passed today 11.07.2023 at Westwood Hills Nursing and Rehab in Wilkesboro, NC.

She was born April 19th, 1934 to Charlie and Frances Clark of the Collettsville community. Patsy was one of 8 children in the home. Patsy married Frank Edwin Hollander and had four children; Cynthia Hollander Hicks (Gregory L. Hicks), Edwin Guy Hollander (Carol Blevins Hollander), Carol Hollander Hamilton (Ronald L. Hamilton) and Helen Susan Hollander (deceased).

She is survived by 4 sisters, Annette Caldwell, Peggy Clarke, Geraldine Arnold and Phyllis Roberts.

Patsy was a graduate of Crossnore High School and continued her education in the field of nursing, working with Caldwell Memorial Hospital for many years.

She was a charter member and active for many years with the United Presbyterian Church (now Greenway Presbyterian Church) and sang many years in the church choir. Her Christian faith was the legacy she instilled in her household and still is our legacy today.

Patsy loved crafting, cooking and baking, gardening, canning, and was an amazing homemaker. She loved crocheting, knitting, and sewing as well.

As the years progressed she had 5 grandchildren she loved dearly, Adam Hicks, Ryan Hicks, Elizabeth Hamilton Jacky, Kyle Hollander and Alyssa Hollander. The next generation gave her these wonderful great grandchildren, Ayden Hicks, Asher Hicks, Arabella Hicks, Brinley Hicks and Oliver Jacky. She sure loved her grands!

We want to thank those who have helped with her over the years while in Nursing care. The staff at Westwood Hills who became a part of her family through 11 years of care; we thank you.

Our family would like to thank Evans Funeral Home for their tender loving care in our final goodbye to our remarkable loved one.

The public who wish to honor her may come to Blue Ridge Memorial Park Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 12:00 PM for her graveside rites.
