Patricia Ann Bachuss

Patricia Ann Bachuss, age 69, of Russellville, passed away Aug. 3 at her residence.

Ann was born Aug. 28, 1947, in Arkansas. MeMaw, as she was affectionately known to her family, was a strong woman, a great mother and a loving grandmother. She loved working with her hands – in the gardens, with roses, cross-stitching, sewing, making candy and so much more. More than anything she loved her family, especially her grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held Aug. 26 at the home of Jason and Dianna Renfro, 2747 Duncan Creek Road, Russellville.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Coy and Mary Ellen (Bowers) Cook, and siblings, Phil Parish, Janie Schinckle, Bubba Cook and Debbie Perkins.

She leaves to cherish her memory her sons, Jason Renfro and wife Dianna and Butch Russell and wife Shauna; grandchildren, AJ Russell, Cody Russell, Mason Renfro and Breanna Prestage; great-grandchildren, Carson Prestage and soon-to-arrive Kaylynn Prestage; siblings, Susie Minyard, Kay Emerson, Roger Parish and wife Patty and Daniel Perkins; and a host of nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society, P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718.
