Patricia  Smith Lovvorn of Tallapoosa passed from this world and into the arms of Jesus on Friday, February 21, 2025. She was surrounded by her loving family just as she desired.

Pat loved gospel music, traveling to the Amish country, and could often be found looking for local yard sales.  Earlier in her life she taught Sunday School and AWANA.  It thrilled her to tell children about her Jesus.  She shared her talents as the owner/operator of Forget-Me-Not Flowers and Catering in the 80's.  She also worked at CB&T/Synovus Bank until her retirement in 2007. An organist and pianist, Pat played for churches, weddings, and family gatherings when all were around the piano.  She was also a gifted artist and painted and sold many beautiful landscapes and other paintings.

Our Mother, Mama, Nannie, Nana will be remembered for having projects and crafts for us to do and for all the wonderful food, candy, and cakes she baked.

Pat is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Liddie Wright Smith; her sisters, Lunita Smith and Marie Jackson, and her brothers, Charles Smith and Winford Smith.
