It is with great sadness that the family of Patricia Ann Waldo announces her passing. Patricia was born August 19, 1941 in Huntington, W.Va. and died January 16, 2021 while in Alive Hospice in Nashville, TN. Mrs. Waldo is forever and lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years, Clayton Benachi “C.B.” Waldo; daughters Ann Moore and Helene Dean; granddaughter Sarah Moore; grandsons Clay Dean and Alex Dean; and son-in-law Brad Dean. She was pre-deceased by her parents Harry and Evelyn Wilgus; brother Edmund Wilgus; and sister Margaret Wilgus. Funeral service will be held on January 23, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. with visitation at 10:00 a.m. for family only at New Hope Methodist Church, Proctorville, OH. There will be a memorial service in Brentwood, TN to be announced later. Any memorials should be donations made to C.B. and Patricia’s home church Forest Hills United Methodist 1250 Old Hickory Blvd. Brentwood, TN 37027.Patricia was raised in Proctorville, Ohio where she and C.B. met and were high school sweethearts. Patricia obtained her nursing degree in 1959 and worked at St. Mary’s Hospital in Huntington, W.Va. She and C.B. married in 1960 and his job took them to several southern locations before settling in Brentwood, TN in 1973 where they have since remained. Together they raised two daughters and have enjoyed being a part of the lives of their three grandchildren whether at home or traveling together. Family was always a top priority for Patricia and her world revolved around them. She had a great fondness for tennis which she continued to follow long after she and C.B. hung up their rackets including several trips to international tournaments. She also spent many hours gardening and would always say she found such great comfort ‘working in the dirt’ and was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Patricia leaves her family with many fond memories but also with a space which cannot be filled. We now celebrate her life well lived. Hall Funeral Home and Crematory, Proctorville, OH, is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences may be expressed to the family at ehallfuneralhome.com.
