Patricia “Pat” Shackelford

Patricia “Pat” Shackelford of Groesbeck, TX went home to Heaven on June 11, 2022, surrounded by family.

Pat was born Patricia Mirl Smith on March 22, 1935, in Colorado City, TX to Robert and Beatrice Smith, and was the oldest of three children.

After graduating high school, Pat married and moved to Midland, TX. She was a secretary for Wilshire Park Baptist Church in Midland, TX for many years before a career change led her to working for the FDIC.

Having a great love of art and crafts, Pat was a very talented artist. She also enjoyed quilting, knitting, crocheting and later found a love for genealogy.

She is survived by her son Ricky Shackelford of Dallas, TX, brother Darrell Smith and wife Clara of Kingsland, TX, granddaughter Heather McKeown and great grandson Kobe Maldonado of Austin, TX, nephews Tod Smith and wife Jenn of Midlothian, TX and Kyle Smith and wife Kim of Plano, TX, as well as countless other nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. Pat was preceded in death by her parents Robert Smith and Beatrice Sears, and brother Bobby Smith and his wife Gwen.

A celebration of life will take place in the Fall. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Remarkable Life Foundation in her name, who took excellent care of her during her final days.
