Patricia Hastings Jones, 61 DAGSBORO - Mrs. Patricia Hastings Jones, 61 years young, of Dagsboro, unexpectedly passed away on Jan. 10, 2010. Patricia was a leap year baby, being born Feb. 29, 1948. Patsy was the daughter of the late Clyde and Bessie Hastings and grew up in the town of Seaford, Del. Patsy married Henry Wilson in 1967, and together they had a daughter, Amy, who was the light of Patricia's life from beginning to end. Patricia is best described as an "Angel on Earth" as she possessed a kind and thoughtful nature that seemed nearly beyond capability. She touched so many lives through her caring way, her bright smile and her devoted faith. Patsy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister , aunt, employee and friend whose positive energy was as infectious as it was genuine. But by far, Patsy's greatest love was her family, which was made even better by her marriage to her husband, Bud, in 2000. Patricia and Bud shared a special love that was one of her greatest blessings during her lifetime. Together, they enjoyed many of life's pleasures in each other's company, usually laughing, holding hands and smiling a smile of contented love. Visiting loved ones near and far was their calling, and they shared their love generously with all of their family members. Their home at Cripple Creek Country Club was another source of much enjoyment and entertainment among dear friends, usually playing golf, or playing trivia after dinner with friends. These wonderful times shared with Bud were a true blessing and provided much happiness for both of them. Patricia was a devoted member of the Christian faith, and volunteered her talent and abilities fully. She was a past Vestry member at St. Martha's Episcopal Church in Bethany Beach, and served as an altar guild member, reader and greeter until her death. Patricia's life was full of love and devotion. She truly lived everyday to the fullest, finding great happiness and inner peace in helping others. Patricia will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her, and we will look forward to seeing her again in heaven. Patsy is survived by her loving husband of nine years, Alfred "Bud" Jones of Dagsboro. Patsy is also survived by her daughter, Amy McGee and her husband David of Vero Beach, Fla.; her brothers, Clyde T. Hastings, Jr. of Dover; Charles "Chuck" Hastings and his wife Trina of Seaford; son-in-law, Michael Jones and his wife Christy of Charlotte, N.C.; her daughter-in-law, Nancy Watts and her husband Doug of Ellicott City, Md.; grandchildren J.D., Aaron, Molly and Abigail McGee (Vero); Dylan and Tyler Jones (Charlotte); Cole, Kyle, Cooper and Kevin Watts (Ellicott City); nephews Ryan, Seth and Colby Hastings (Seaford); Brent Hastings (Dover)and a niece; April Meyer (Dover) and several great- nieces and great-nephews. Patricia also dearly loved, and is survived by her God-son, Brian Bozzone of Newark.
