Patsy Joan Brown Revell of San Angelo passed away peacefully on February 25th surrounded by family. Pat was born on April 2, 1930 in Talpa, Texas to Frankie and Roy Brown. She attended school in Abilene, Texas and upon graduation attended business school. Pat’s success resulted in a lifetime career in banking. She married Don Revell on April 17, 1948, and, together, they enjoyed 61 wonderful years of marriage. Pat and Don were partners in life as much as at the bridge table, raising two beloved daughters and building a home for their family from Stamford, to Abilene, to San Angelo.
Throughout her life, Pat devoted herself to her family and her faith. A woman of strong mind, sharp wit, and steadfast character, Pat was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church, serving as a youth leader, alongside Don, in Stamford, Texas and a board member in San Angelo. She was a member of the Cheers Sunday School Class in San Angelo for many years. Her civic involvement included PEO, where she served as President for multiple terms. She also delivered Meals for the Elderly and tutored for San Angelo ISD. Pat’s interests included: baking, candy making, sewing, following Texas Rangers baseball, and, of course, playing bridge, with both weekly bridge days and beauty shop appointments as non-negotiable. Pat and fellow Cheers member, Carl Menzies, enjoyed a cherished relationship for ten years following the deaths of their spouses.
Pat was preceded in death by her husband (Don), parents (Frankie and Roy Brown), two brothers (Roy and Jerry Don Brown), and one sister (Jean Dawson), as well as one granddaughter (Emily Erin Brown), and Carl Menzies. Survivors include her daughter Lori and husband Jeff Boyd of Chriesman, Texas, and daughter Sheri and husband Bryan Brown of San Angelo. She is also survived by her four grandchildren—Claire and Ian Matthews of Clifton, Virginia; Olin Boyd of Houston, Texas; Hannah Brown and Bryce Pfingsten of San Angelo; and Madalyn and Christopher Serrano of Omaha, Nebraska—and great grandchildren Graeme, Steeli, and Wade Stokes.
Meals for the Elderly, Concho Valley Paws, West Texas Rehab, and First Methodist Church Columbarium Fund were favored charities of Pat. There will be a service celebrating her life at 1:00 pm on Monday, March 3rd at First Methodist Church.
