Patricia Ann (Fuller) Jefferson departed this life on April 15, 2025, to rejoin her husband, parents, and seven siblings in heaven. She was the third oldest of 9 and the oldest girl, born to Amos and Mattie (Harden) Fuller on September 24, 1935, in Rochelle, Georgia. She is survived by her brother, Edward Fuller.

Patricia was a member of Willow Run High School's first graduating class in 1956. She went on to receive an associate degree from Cleary College. In 1963, she entered into a union with Harold Gene Jefferson. Two children were born from that union, Michael Duane Jefferson and Paula Elise Jefferson. She worked as a typist at Willow Run Public Schools and at the library in the 1960s until she was hired at the University of Michigan, where she held several positions until she retired from the physical therapy department as an administrative assistant/manager in 1993.

Patricia loved traveling, sewing, quilting, and going to casinos with her sisters Annette Fuller and Bessie Thomas. Along with her sister Annette, she was known as one of the area's "Cake Ladies." She committed herself to the Lord in the 1990s when she joined Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church. She was in charge of the church's food program, a trustee of the church, and a Mother Emeritus of the Church.
