Patricia Ann Couch, born on August 6, 1946, to Herbert and Emma Castillo, passed away peacefully on January 15, 2025, Patricia was a cherished and beloved member of her community, having been a lifetime resident of Columbia County.

She dedicated her career to serving our veterans as a medical clerk at the Lake City VA Hospital, where her compassion and dedication touched the lives of many. Patricia's tireless work and kindness made a significant impact on the veterans she served and her colleagues alike.

Patricia was a devoted mother who loved her four children unconditionally: Timothy (Michelle), Patrick (Regina), Ginny (Cody), and her oldest, Andrew, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband, Elbert Couch, and her son Andrew O'Quinn. Her love and commitment to her family were unwavering and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She was a loving sister to her siblings lack (Janie) Castillo and Helen (Donald) Morgan. The true joy of Patricia's life was her grandchildren, of whom there were plenty: Savannah Burton (Josh), whom she loved and raised as her own, Christina Geiger, Codi Gelger (Sarah), Jessica O'Quinn (Ty), Jordyn Wyatt, Emalee Hopper, Alyssa Hopper, and Thomas Hopper. She was also preceded in death by her grandson Zachary O'Quinn, She was blessed with seven great- grandchildren who brought her immense joy.

Patricia had a profound love for all of nature and found great joy in the simple pleasure of fishing, often spending peaceful moments with a pole in her hand. Her faith in the Lord was strong, guiding her through life with grace and strength.

Patricia will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched with her kindness, warmth, and unwavering love.

She is now resting in peace with our Lord and Savior, pain-free.
