I didn't know Mrs. McCallum. She's my dad's neighbor. She sounds like a really nice lady.

Her determination and strength was amazing. Never missed a day walking in Newington neighborhood. We would chat when we passed each other on the street. There was something lonely about her that I felt and I instantly became her walking friend. All the walkers of Newington will surely miss seeing her. I for sure will.

Didn't know Patsy well, but saw her in Goose Creek years ago at church. Was surprised to find out she had moved to Sville and she lived one street over from me! I encountered her walking one day when I was also walking and recognized her. We have talked on the street a few times. So sorry for your loss.

My husband and I didn´t know Patsy very well but would say hi when we passed each other on walks through the neighborhood. She would read while she walked and will be remembered fondly for her ability to do those two things at once. We look forward to getting to know her better in Heaven!

When she walked by our house reading every day, it made me smile. I bet I think of her every time I am in the yard working.

We fondly and loving remember Patsy as we spoke at our church in Goose Creek, and as she took her regular walks through our community. She was a loving Christian in her life's contacts and work. She'll surely be missed, yet we'll see her again in Heaven one day! Our sympathy is extended to her husband and family.
