Pat Nutgrass

Aug 7th, 1948 - Jul 27th, 2020

A private graveside ceremony will be held with interment in Elmwood Cemetery.

 

   Patsy Sue Nutgrass, age 71, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Monday afternoon, July 27, 2020, at her home.

   She was born August 7, 1948, in Wichita Falls, Texas, the daughter of Harold Alvin and Bertie Marie (Blair) Beekman.  She was united in marriage to Haskell J. Nutgrass on June 28, 1966, in Wichita Falls, Texas and together they have shared 54 wedding anniversaries together.

   Pat trained and served as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, specializing in labor and delivery, and later worked in an office practice.  She was a loving and dedicated wife and mother who had often volunteered for activities that involved her children, including room mother and Cub Scout den leader.  Grandchildren were also a special joy in her life.  She was a collector of antiques, enjoyed opportunities to travel in the U.S. and abroad, and especially appreciated the beauty of ocean beaches.  Pat truly loved and cared for her pets, as well as animals of all kinds.  She was a member of the Garden Club, Christian Women Club, Flora Main Street Program, as well as the Flora Academic Foundation where she enjoyed actively participating each year in the Appleknocker Festival. 

   She is survived by her husband: Haskell Nutgrass of Flora; 3 children: Michael Nutgrass of Navarre, Florida, Scott (Jennifer) Nutgrass of Warner Robins, Georgia, and Keri (Adam) Nutgrass Fedenia of Libertyville; 5 grandchildren: Gage, Tanner, and Cason Nutgrass, and Julia and Bennett Fedenia; and a sister: Kathy Schneider of Indiana.  She was preceded in death by her parents.

   A private graveside ceremony will be held with interment in Elmwood Cemetery.  Arrangements are in the care of Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.  In lieu of flowers and gifts, the family suggests memorial donations be made to Fur A Good Paws or the Clay County Hospital Endowment Foundation.  To share a memory or condolence, visit: www.frankandbright.com

We are so very sorry for your family’s loss. Pat was always thoughtful and kind. She will be sorely missed. I remember well after my parents (Bill and Shirley) passed and we had an auction on one of the hottest summer days..in the confusion that day one item was sold that should not have been..we were lucky that it was in a group of things that Pat had purchased and she recognized right away that it had a personal note written on it from my dad to my mother for their anniversary...I am so thankful that she returned it to me. I still cherish that old painting of some poppies with a love note to my mom handwritten from my dad on the back of it. As I said , I will remember Pat for her thoughtfulness and true kindness. We will keep your family in our prayers as you grieve this loss.

Haskell and Family, I was just thinking of Pat about a week ago as I passed near Flora on my way to St. Louis. She was my "Mom" away from home during my time in the community. She had a wonderful giving spirit, spontaneous sense of humor, and had pride in her community. She was a joy to know and to be in her presence. Condolences and prayers to you all.
