Patricia Gower Faires, 70, died Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013, at home surrounded by her family and closest friends after a struggle with ALS.
Pat was a graduate of Mars Hill Bible School and a member of Killen Church of Christ. She and Carl retired six years ago and returned home to Killen after residing in Florida for 38 years. Pat was a very talented Interior Designer with a flair for creating beautiful things and places, including Larimore House and Killen Church of Christ. Her greatest pride and joy was her family – especially her six grandchildren.
She is survived by Carl, her husband of all most 53 years; son Randy (Lori); daughter, Kim (Bill Winningham) and grandchildren Eric, Kendall, Dylan, Abby, Tyler and Brianna.
She was preceded in death by her parents Raleigh and Eula Gower.
Visitation will be Monday Oct. 7, 2013, from 6-8 p.m. at Greenview Funeral Home. A viewing will be held at Killen Church of Christ Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013, from 1–2 p.m., with her funeral service following at 2 p.m. Officiating will be Dr. Milton Sewell of Freed Hardeman University.
Her family would like to thank the ALS Foundation, Hospice of the Shoals and her many, many dear faithful friends whose support made this journey bearable. We would also like to thank Brenda Krieger who lovingly cared for our wife and mother and supported both of our parents.
