Patricia 'Pat' Jane Mckinney

FARMINGTON Patricia "Pat" Jane (Priday) McKinney, of Farmington, entered into eternal rest on April 3, 2022, at Mercy Hospital Jefferson in Festus at the age of 85. She was born in Saco, Missouri, on July 2, 1936, to Harry and Queenie Priday. On February 16, 1956, she married Robert "Bob" McKinney and he survives her. To this union, they were blessed with four children. Pat was raised in a very loving and religious family. She was very close to her mother who taught her how to iron and cook. Pat helped raise her sister, Carol, who was 13 years younger and hated washing Carols dirty diapers. Pat and her cousin, Shirley frequently went down to the creek bank to cook potatoes in an iron skillet. She was a graduate of Fredericktown High School and in 1953, was voted "Football Queen" by the players. She loved her brother and sister deeply and later in life, her biggest thrill was when they would stop in for a visit. Pat retired from the Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center and was a member of Pendleton United Baptist Church. She enjoyed retirement and cared deeply for her family but had a very special bond with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "Grandma Pat" will be greatly missed by all who loved her. Pat is survived by her husband of 66 years, Bob of the home, daughter, Lisa (Tim) Harris of Doe Run, sons, Jimmy (Sandy) McKinney of Encampment, WY and Greg McKinney of Knob Lick, sister, Carol (Darrel) Hicks of St. Charles, brother, Bill Priday of Sikeston, six grandchildren, Jody McKinney, Nathen (Tiffany) McKinney, Danyelle (Justin) McClellan of Farmington, Dustin (Caitlin) Harris of Doe Run, Cole (Ashley) McKinney of Encampment, WY, and Chad (Anndee) McKinney of Cheyenne, WY, sixteen great grandchildren, Austin, Jacob, Michael, Hunter, Madison, Mikynze, Montana, Keegan, Lane, Tristan, Hoyt, Fynn, Beau, Wren, Parker, and Brady, and a host of other family and friends.
