Patricia Neal Matherne

Patricia Neal Matherne, 63, of DeRidder, LA, passed from this life on August 8, 2017.

Pat touched many lives with her kindness and generosity. She never met a stranger and was a good friend to everyone. She loved deeply and wholeheartedly.  She never missed an opportunity to spread happiness with her unique sense of humor, only heightened by the sound of her contagious laughter. Our momma lived life on her own terms and to the fullest; but in the end, God called her and she became a sister in Christ. Even though we are sad at her passing, we rejoice, because we know she is in heaven and we will see her again. Our loss is heaven’s gain.  Our family is very grateful to God for this journey we shared with her. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Heart of Hospice of Moss Bluff for all of their help and support.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Anthony Dylan Wisby and Jessica of DeRidder, LA; daughter, Tressa Wisby Nunez and Brady of Ragley, LA; sisters, Gloria Sue Weeks of Rosepine, LA, Linda Gail West and Roxy of Rosepine, LA, Cathy Springstun and Don of DeRidder, LA, Vicki Cooley and Dwayne of DeRidder, LA; sister-in-law, Martha Vander of Rosepine, LA; three grandchildren:  Marilyn Wisby, Alyson Nunez, Baylee Nunez; close family friend, Pam Bailey; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Terry Lynn Wisby, Sr.; her son, Terry Wisby, Jr.; her mother, O’Neal Horton; two brothers, Raymond Vander and Mark Garcia. A Party at the Hole will be held graveside at Beauregard Cemetery at 1:00 PM on Saturday, August 12, 2017.  Pastor George Lee Glass will officiate.
