Patricia Ann “Patsy” Tompkins, 82, passed away, in her home on Nov. 26, 2023, surrounded by family.

She was born Oct. 30, 1941, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and has been a lifelong resident since.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Polly Adams; husband, Clarence Edward “PeeWee” Tompkins; and her sister, Frances “Sue” Simmons.

She is survived by her children, Paul Tompkins (Tina), Lisa Howe (Jay); brother, Rayford Adams (Gene); grandchildren, Cory Howe, Ashton Ratliff (Dylan), Jarad Tompkins (Carley), Nikki Dayne, Taylor Lehon and Erica Tompkins; and great-grandchildren, Briley, Olivia, Natalie, Dalton and Corbin.

Patsy loved her family almost as much as she loved her LSU Tigers and her “soul sisters” Mary Benson, Ann Henley and Jeanette Roberts.

A special thank you to Sam Pierce and Morgan Caulfield for caring for her throughout the years.

A memorial of her life will be held at Fisher-Riles Funeral Home, 5000 Indiana Ave. in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on Saturday, Dec. 2.

Visitation will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. with the memorial service to follow in the chapel.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to St. Jude’s Hospital.
