In addition to her parents, Pat was predeceased by her beloved husband of 38 years, George “Freddie” F. Schwarz, Jr.; her sister, Judith H. Sumner; and her brothers, Teddy L. Hodges and Little Bernard Hodges. She was also preceded in death by her cherished dog, Molly.

Schwarz, III (Sherrie), Sandra Aiken (Cliff), Robert Schwarz (Ellie); her grandchildren, Chris (Dawn), Nicole (Justin), Rick (Lauren), Nathan, Stephen (Katie), Corey (Sam), Jordan, Robyn, Remy, Shelley (Jim), and Matt (Summer).
