NEWS RELEASE: October 18, 2026
DECEASED NAME FOR NEWS: Patsy Jane Mikesh
In Loving Memory of Patsy Jane Mikesh
Patsy Jane Mikesh, of Loudon, Tennessee, passed away on Sunday, October 18, 2026, in Lenoir, Tennessee.
Patsy was born on May 21, 1951, in Loudon, Tennessee, to Lester McDonald and Martha Isbell.
She is survived by her loving children, Joe Elliott, Bobby Elliott, Cissy Adkinson, and Mary Jane Presley. She also
leaves behind a host of cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will continue to carry her memory
in their hearts.
Mamaw Pat was as genuine and feisty as they come. She was never one to hold her tongue, and you never had
to wonder how she felt or where you stood with her. She spoke her mind, stood firm in her beliefs, and had a
personality that was truly one of a kind. She loved entertaining others and enjoyed the company of good people.
Mamaw Pat was the kind of grandma you knew would do just about anything for you. Her love for her family ran
deep, especially for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who held such a special place in her heart. She
was proud of her Cherokee heritage and often credited her fiery spirit and feistiness to her Cherokee roots. And if
you knew Mamaw Pat, you knew that fire was something special about her. She had a strength that couldn't
easily be shaken. Life brought her more than her fair share of hardships and heartbreak, but time and time again,
she found a way to get back up, keep going, and face another day. Through it all, she continued to be there for
the family she loved so dearly. That was Mamaw Pat. Strong, outspoken, resilient, and full of life. She was one of
a kind, and there will never be another quite like her. Her spirit, her stories, her love, and even her feisty ways
will live on in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed, but the
memories she leaves behind will forever be a part of the family she loved so much.
A private graveside service will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at White Rock Cemetery in Center, Texas.
Pallbearers will be Marcus Adkinson, Justin Adkinson, Brian Horton, Jorge Martinez, Cody Adkinson, and Kolton
Adkinson.
Patsy will be remembered by her family and loved ones, and her memory will live on through the generations she
leaves behind.
