Patricia grew up in Ganntown, Illinois, and graduated from Vienna High School in Vienna, Illinois in 1967. Following high school, she attended Shawnee Community College in Pulaski County, Illinois for two years.
She married the love of her life, Robert L. Troutt on Nov. 7, 1970. To this union, three daughters and one son were born.
Patricia worked in partnership with her husband to pastor Roby Assembly of God Church in Roby. She received Jesus as her Savior at the young age of 13 and committed her life to following Him. Throughout her career as a pastor’s wife, she devoted herself to ministering to children through Sunday School and various children’s programs. The church truly loved and appreciated her ministry and acts of service. Robert and Patricia have been serving in the ministry for over 50 years and have been pastors at Roby Assembly of God for 19 years. She also worked in Christian schools.
Patricia loved and was devoted to her family and enjoyed family celebrations and dinners. She enjoyed cooking special dishes for these occasions. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and often designed and crafted items for them. She taught them art and crafts, and she was a skilled artist. She was an excellent seamstress and made and altered many dresses for her daughters. She homeschooled three of her children, passing on a legacy of her love for learning and her Christian convictions.
Patricia was a wonderful and beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend.
She always remained positive and hopeful, even in her battle with cancer. She inspired others everywhere she went, with her kindness and gentleness. She will be greatly missed, and Heaven has gained a wonderful saint who fought her battle bravely and has entered the presence of her Lord Jesus. We will meet again in Heaven.
