Obituary of Patricia L. Poss

In the company of angels, Mrs. Patricia Pat Louise Poss, of Ivy Terrace Drive, was welcomed into heaven on February 28, 2019. Pat, known to most as Grandma, was born November 12, 1930, in Washington, D.C., daughter to the late Alma and John Panetta. Grandma is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lords people, helping those in trouble, and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds, (1 Timothy 5:10). All who knew Grandma shared in her colorful stories, temporary tattoos and sweet treats, unconditional love, and an infectious smile. Pat is celebrating her renewed, heavenly body with her husband, Robert Bob Poss, and son, Johnny Poss. Many family members still on this earth rejoice in her life, including her three children, Robert Bobby Poss and wife, Luanne, of Asheville, Charles Poss and wife, Denise, of Florida, and Dawn Ward and husband, David, of Boone; 18 grandchildren, Michael Poss and wife, Karen, Johnny Poss Jr., Kyle Poss and wife, Andrea, Clint Harris and wife, Cory, Eric Harris, Tyler Poss and wife, Molly, Joy Conklin and husband Perry, Jenny Beck and husband Warren, Julie Ward, Kelly Sides and husband, Rob and Tiffani Barb and husband, Kenny; and 17 great grandchildren. A celebration of Grandmas full, vibrant life will take place this summer, details shared later. Grandma loved scriptural blessings, so here is a prayer from Grandma to you: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling, (1 Peter 4:8-9). In memory of Pat, flowers can be donated to patients and residents of the Foley Center at Chestnut Ridge, 621 Chestnut Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock, NC 28605.
