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.
“Relax in My Everlasting Arms. Your weakness is an opportunity to grow strong in awareness of My Almighty Presence. When your energy fails you, do not look inward and lament the lack you find there. Look to Me and My sufficiency; rejoice in My radiant riches that are abundantly available to help you. Go gently through this day, leaning on Me and enjoying My Presence. Thank me for your neediness, which is building trust-bonds between us. If you look back on your journey thus far, you can see that days of extreme weakness have been some of your most precious times. Memories of these days are richly interwoven with golden strands of My intimate Presence. “
Deuteronomy 33:27; Psalm 27:13-14

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.
