Chris Patterson on Sunday, October 5, 2008 passed away at 12:25 p.m. in Lafayette, La., at the age of 45 years.


Miss Patterson resided in Lafayette and was a native of Houma, La. She had a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of New Orleans.

It wasn’t until she obtained her Master’s in Education from the University of Miami that she found her true niche – teaching. Her loves were family, friends, pets, and her beloved Billy O’Leary. Chris continues to live on through her mother, Mary Ann Patterson; two sisters, Caren Patterson Smith and Cinda Patterson van Merrienboer; three nephews, Dylan and Devin Smith and Andre van Merrienboer; and one niece, Ava van Merrienboer.


Chris was preceded in death by her father, Charles Ray Patterson, Jr.; and step-brother, Mark Patterson.

Chris is an angel now, one who watches over all of us. God rest her soul
