Patsy Lucille Avery, 76, of Blytheville passed away at home on Tuesday evening with family surrounding her.  She was born in Blytheville on June, 27, 1946 to her parents Bufford and Wilma Stubbs.  She attended Blytheville schools and later spent over 40 years as the cafeteria manager for Blytheville Public Schools.  She was of the Pentecostal faith and a member of Grace Life Church in Blytheville.
