“Even when she didn’t have it, she’d spend it — and not always on herself. She’d give anyone the skirt off her backside if they needed it.”

and singer George Riddle said of her:

“It wasn’t unusual for her to sit down and have a beer and tell a joke. She’d never be offended at the guys’ jokes, because most of the time she’d tell a joke better than you! Patsy was full of life, as I remember”
