Patsy Lee McCargish was born Aug. 12, 1944, in Quemado to Jennie Lee and Julian Culver Clements and died early on the morning of July 29, 2009, in Lubbock, Texas. Mrs. McCargish made her home in Quemado until her marriage to Lloyd McCargish on May 26, 1961 in Socorro, N.M.
For several years, they moved a number of times, following his job. In 1980, the family moved to Logan, where they finished rearing their family. In 1991, she and her husband began driving as a team for Southwest Canners. At various times, it became necessary for her to take a break for one reason or another. During one of those times, she was providing care for her mother until her death in 1992. During her driving career, Mrs. McCargish had driven well over a million miles both accident and violation free.
She and her husband moved to Portales in the mid 1990s. She was a very involved member of the Calvary Baptist Church and was currently serving as the church treasurer. Her life was one of serving and giving. There always seemed to be an extra child in the house or someone that she was providing with special care. When she had personal time, Patsy loved to read.
She is survived by Lloyd McCargish, her husband of more than 48 years of Portales; two daughters, Dinkie (Walter) Parman of Channing, Texas, and Kay (Wes) Hull of Spearman, Texas; a son, Royd (Shannon) McCargish of Albuquerque; and 18 grandchildren. She was preceded in death by both of her parents, three brothers, Mickey, Buzz and Corky Clements and by two sons, Primo and Clifford McCargish.
Arrangements by Wheeler Mortuary, Portales.
