On this Thanksgiving, the family of Pat Darnell would like to say “thank you” for every visit, call, text or message, prayer, and act of kindness displayed to our family during our time of loss.

The overwhelming support from Columbia and surrounding communities has been surreal. Losing our Wife, Mother, Nana, and friend has been difficult, but your prayers and kind words have surely been felt by our family. Special “Thank You” to the staff at Stotts-Phelps McQueary Funeral Home and Taylor County Hospital. Thank you to Columbia Magazine for posting the obituary and photo of mom.

We would only ask that the entire community honor Pat by living life each day with a big smile on your face, and by showing kindness and love to everyone, especially your family, just like Pat did. Again, thank you.
