Patricia "Pat" (Lovelace) Freeman

Born in Lafayette, Alabama on April 24, 1936, Patricia Lovelace Freeman passed away peacefully of natural causes on April 17, 2025, at Southeast Health Hospital in Dothan, Alabama.  There will be a graveside service at Antioch Baptist Church cemetery on May 4,2025 at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Pat, as she was lovingly known, was a longtime member of Lafayette Heights Baptist Church where she participated in their many social events and was well-liked as she enjoyed teaching Sunday school.  Thanks to her husband‘s work as an industrial laundry manager, she and her daughter, Lynn, experienced living in various locations in the south. With her skills in bookkeeping, she was able to work in several of the cities.  She, along with her whole family, was an avid reader and was fortunate to travel to Nova Scotia and overseas to Scotland and England.  There with her husband, daughter and son-in-law, she had a very heartfelt moment when visiting Stratford-upon-Avon.  She said that place, in particular, was especially wonderful.   As a young, impressionable high school student, her English teacher told the class as they were studying Shakespeare that maybe some day some of them might get to see Shakespeare’s home in England, and now she had!

Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Sydney D. Freeman and her only child, daughter, Lynn Freeman Scott. She is survived by her son-in-law, Burtis Scott.
