Patricia Jo Konz's Obituary
On Wednesday, August 10, Patricia Jo “Patty” Konz, Woodville, VA died at the age of 58.
She was born in Stevens Point, WI. She was one of nine children but quickly made herself seen and heard. She exclaimed her love of food (string cheese, spaghetti, Snaps, Portesi pizza), but also is known for having to sit at the dinner table until she finished her supper.
Patty ventured off early and moved to Virginia where she soon picked up the local accent and fit right in gaining many friends touching their lives forever. She put her whole heart into life and would give someone her last dollar being happy to have done it. After not being able to have her own children she volunteered at a local pregnancy center. She made sure you knew she cared! She had a heart of gold, unfortunately not of steel. She was a passionate member of the New Salem Baptist Church where she was always prepared for Bible study. Devotional readings were part of her daily routine.
Patty could do just about anything she put her mind to; bartending, waitressing, accounting, real estate, retail management, playing piano, gardening, canning. Smiling in the face of adversity. Even if she was feeling down she’d bring you up. She loved animals especially her dogs Bruno and Snickers.
Her work ethic was like no other. She was truly happy to go to work each day! She had a whole family at Walmart who can attest to that.
She was married for many years to Billy Green enjoying the life of hobby farming and Harley bike rides. They always welcomed family to stay with them. Their relationship ended and she met Alan Payne who was amazed at Patty‘s caring heart and steadfast perseverance.
She will forever be missed by many and never knew truly how great she was.
Patty was preceded in death by her parents Kenneth and Dona Konz.
She is survived by her husband, Alan Payne; siblings, Karen Konz, David (Karen), Don, Mary Anne Vizecky, Peggy Rojo, Dan (Doreen), Bob, Cindy (Jon Roraff); nieces and nephews; Rachel (Todd) Babcock, Robert Konz, Josh (Hart) Konz, Nathan and Lila Rojo, John David (Farrah) and Ali Konz, Emily Konz, Billy Konz, Kayla Konz, Sarah Konz, Hadassah Konz, Hunter and Benjamin Roraff and many other great nieces nephews and cousins.
