Patsy (Rogers) Sullivan, 91, a resident of Gila, New Mexico passed away quietly in her home on November 13, 2018. Patsy was a long time resident of Gila and very active member of her community. She was a classy woman with beautiful white hair and always wore red lipstick and a pair of dangley earrings. But it was her love of people that set her apart. She loved to be with people, talking and laughing and enjoying each and every person she met. She never knew a stranger, drawing people to her with an infectious smile and an abundance of hugs.

Patsy was born on September 14, 1927, in Gibson, NM. She was the 3rd child to Noble and Hazel Rogers. Patsy had four sisters; Helen, Gertrude, Ruby, and Ginger; and one brother, L.H. Rogers. Her family lived in McGaffey, Ft. Wingate, and eventually in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Patsy married C.C. “Smokie” Sullivan on May 16, 1942. Smokie joined the Army Air Corps during WWII while Patsy remained with her family and moved with them to Kingman, AZ until the end of the war. When Smokie came home they began to build their life together raising 4 children; Doyle, Hazel, Myron, and Glenn. The family moved from Grants, New Mexico to Gila in 1967 when Smokie's job with James Hamilton Construction brought him to the area. Smokie and Patsy bought a farm in Gila and put down deep roots. Patsy was active in Farm Bureau and served for a number of years on the New Mexico State Housing Authority for Region V. She was chairman of the Valley Youth Center in Gila and served on the New Mexico Soil and Water Conservation District for many years.
