Patricia “Pat” Bass Satterwhite

Patricia (Pat) Bass Satterwhite, a devoted wife and mother, loving grandmother, and respected member of the Providence community, passed away on June 14, 2024, in Oxford, North Carolina. She was born on August 9, 1950, in Goldsboro, NC.

Throughout her remarkable life, Pat made an indelible mark on many. With a career spanning over 30 years at Umstead Hospital but continued to embody dedication and passion in all she pursued. Pat’s commitment to serving others extended beyond her professional life as she was a strong supporter of the Providence Fire Department and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary.

Raised in the Oxford Orphanage/Masonic Home for Children, Pat understood the importance of community and giving back. She cherished her time at West Oxford Baptist Church and found solace and purpose in faith.

In her personal life, Pat was a pillar of strength and love for her family. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Jimmy Satterwhite; her daughters, Shelley Jones (Greg Jones) and Crystal Satterwhite-Long (Jay Long); her precious grandchildren, Logan, Elizabeth, Gracie, Noah, Aubrey, Lawsyn; her best friend/sister Betty Smoot; her brother-in-law, Ricky Satterwhite (Barbara) and  her sister Eunice Pope (Jerry Pope). Pat was preceded in death by her father, William M. Bass, her mother, Sara Lillian Pittman Bass, and 14 siblings.

Pat’s legacy of kindness, compassion, and unwavering love will live on through all those who were fortunate enough to have known her. Her presence will be deeply missed by many friends and extended family but her memory will continue to inspire and guide us.

Services to honor and celebrate Pat’s life will be held at Gentry-Newell & Vaughan Funeral Home located at 503 College Street in Oxford, NC. A visitation will take place on June 17th starting at 5:00 PM followed by a Memorial Gathering at 6:30 PM. May we find solace in the memories we shared with Patricia Bass Satterwhite and may her spirit continue to shine brightly in our hearts forevermore.
