DOOLITTLE, PATSY RUTH TAYLOR
Patsy Ruth Taylor Doolittle was born on June 11, 1928 in Guthrie , Oklahoma 
to her parents, Sam and Evelyn Taylor. She passed away peacefully on 
December 19, 2010 surrounded by family at the home of her daughter, 
Sherrill Doolittle Kearney Creek.  On August 19, 1946, Patsy was married to 
Melvin Francis Doolittle of California at her parents' home in Guthrie,
Oklahoma. After the wedding, Patsy and Melvin left for California to begin 
their life together.  After living in Lynwood, California, for 6 months, 
Patsy and Melvin moved to Loranger, LA in March of 1947 to enter the 
business of dairy faming with his sister and brother-in-law, Ruby and
Merrill Williamson.  To the union of Patsy and Melvin were born three 
children, Melvin Dale, Sherrill Ann and Nelson Ellis. Patsy was preceded in 
death by her husband of eleven years, Melvin Francis Doolittle, her parents 
Sam and Evelyn Taylor, and a brother, Sammy Taylor.  She is survived by her 
two sons, Melvin and his wife, Elaine, Nelson and his wife, Genece, and her 
one daughter, Sherrill and her husband, Bob; two sisters, Marilyn Cota of 
California and Linda Probst of Edmond, Oklahoma; ten grandchildren; 12 
great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.  Patsy loved flowers 
and grew up working and helping in her father's greenhouse and florist. In 
later years, she once again worked as a florist in Hammond, Louisiana and 
later in Metairie, Louisiana. One of the joys of her life was watching some 
of her grandchildren become involved in flowers as a florist and in 
horticulture.  Family and friends are invited to the visitation at Oak Grove
Church of God in Loranger on Tuesday, Dec. 21 after 9 am until the religious 
service at 11 am. Interment will follow in Oak Grove Church of God Cemetery.
Geisler Funeral Home of Hammond in charge of arrangements. Online 
condolences may be expressed at www.geislerfuneralhome.net.
