Pat was a wonderful and loving wife, mother and Nana. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She never saw a stranger, loved to talk, and would do all she could to help anyone.

Lit a candle in memory of PatriciaPat Spruill Harrell
I had the honor of meeting and working with Pat at Schlage Lock for 11 years. Her and pop (Norman Harrell) became not only two of my best friends but part of my life. She was like a mother to me when we worked together. Made sure I ate right,took my medicine and behaved. When I would get mischievous she would pop me on the back of my head and say behave youngin. (lol) I Our friendship continued on until her death. I know that she now is reunited with pop again, never again to be apart. She will live on in my memories until we meet again in Heaven. Butch and Carol your mother loved you more then you could ever know. And I know that the both of you loved her the same way. In my thoughts and prayers. Rev. Preston Holmes
