Patricia (Pat) Douglas Dendy, 82, of Jackson, went into the hands of our Lord and Savior on Sept. 9, 2026. Pat was born on Nov. 21, 1943, in Crystal Springs to Dewey and Evelyn Douglas.
Pat was a graduate of the Crystal Springs Consolidated School. Pat went on to follow her career and retired from the Mississippi Workers Compensation Commission in Jackson. Pat continued working part-time in her church office.
Anyone she came in contact with Pat did her best to help spiritually and with their needs. She was a faithful servant of Lord and Savior.
Her favorite hobby was embroidering special items for her family and friends. She also acquired the art of quilting from her mother.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dewey and Evelyn Douglas, and her daughter, Amber Noel Gaskin.
She is survived by her husband, Jackie Dendy; son, Kevin Gaskin (Brenda); sisters, Betty Willey (Bob), Frieda Goodwin (Rodger), and Bobbie Quinn; and brother, Dewey Douglas (Jill).
A celebration of Pat’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Oct. 3 at Alta Woods Baptist Church in Jackson.
“IN ORDER TO HEAR MY VOICE, you must release all your worries into My care. Entrust to me everything that concerns you. This clears the way for you to seek My face unhindered. Let Me free you from fear that is hiding deep inside you. Sit quietly in My Presence, allowing My Light to soak into you and drive out any darkness lodged within you. Accept each day just as it comes to you, remembering that I am sovereign over your life. Rejoice in this day that I have made, trusting that I am abundantly present in it. Instead of regretting or resenting the way things are, thank Me in all circumstances. Trust Me and don’t be fearful; thank me and rest in My sovereignty.”
1 Peter 5:6-7; Psalm 118:24
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Several ladies of Alta Woods delivered donated items, along with a monetary gift to the new Mercy House for Women. They were able to take a tour of the facility and were greatly impressed.


Snack items and easy meals for families of patients in the Mississippi Children's Hospital were collected during the month of January 2026 and delivered this week.

Our Mission emphasis for July 2025 was Mercy House in Georgetown. Billy and Peggy Roberts delivered a van full of supplies this past week,

As always, Alta Woods members were very generous in their giving and Mercy House was very appreciative.
