September 4, 1938 – October 12, 2019
Patricia C. Austin, age 81, of Sun City Center (formerly Tampa) passed away on Saturday, October 12, 2019. She was born in Alamance County, NC, on September 4, 1938, to the late Max Elwyn Clarke and Bronnie Lee Harward Clarke. Pat attended schools in Greensboro, N.C., and Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC. She retired as a business owner from the wholesale distribution/manufactures rep business in the early 2000s and relocated with Jerry L. Austin, her husband of 55 years, to Sun City Center, FL.
Pat enjoyed a life filled with world-wide travel and hobbies, including gardening, reading and stained glass art activities. She shared many pieces of her beautiful glass art with friends all over the country.
She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Jerry. Pat is survived by her brother, David W. Clarke.
Pat was fortunate to have lifelong friends from Florida to the Carolinas and beyond. All who knew her will miss her Southern grace and the very often used “Thank You” expression, spoken in the true dialect of her birthplace.
