  3. Pansy was a dear friend of anyone that met her. She was always there to help when there was a need. When someone passed away in Mountain Grove she helped make a huge lunch for the family. She was always involved with Mountain Grove Church. A very giving and kind person. You will be missed. Love you Shirley Keyes Lytwyn

  6. It is with sincere regret that we are unable to attend this service for Pansy because of J.D.’s recent surgery. We want to share in the loss of one of Mountain Grove’s most valuable members. Pansy was always there for everyone in the community and in the church.

    We shared so many wonderful memories with Pansy and Steve when we livedin Surry, VA and in Tennessee.

    We will always remember Octoberfest in Nashville. This man none of us knew grabbed Pansy by the arm and with her pocketbook on the other arm, danced in the street to the music. We never saw this man again.

    We will always cherish these memories of a most dear and trusted friend.

  13. A sweet spirit who years ago had placed her trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.
    Her passing from this life to her Heavenly Home on Easter Sunday, represented HIS faithfulness to Pansy’s final testimony.
    We will miss her ready smile and pleasant personality.
