Obituary:
Patricia Jean Pass-Linson departed this life on March 16, 2024. She was born in Washington, DC on October 01, 1958, to the late Betty Jean Young and the late Jesse Pass. Patricia was educated in the Public School system of Washington, DC, and briefly attended Smith Business School. She married Freddie Lee Linson in 1982 and had a brief occupation as a domestic worker. Patricia had great aspirations and dreams. The one goal that she strived for the last few years of her life was to get things right with the Lord and she did.
One of the last things that Patricia said to her daughter before she passed away was, "Terri, it's not your start, it's your finish!"
We are sure that God decided that his child should suffer no more. Her children, extended family, and friends miss her dearly.
