Patricia C. Fann Walther, 62, of Eunice, Louisiana, passed away Saturday, January 11, 2020 surrounded by her family. Known as Patty to all who loved her, she was born on November 20, 1957 at Miami Hospital to Peggy Powell Fann Johnson and Bobby Wilson Fann.
The family moved to Macon, Georgia in 1963 and then to Charleston, South Carolina in 1967 where she attended school until her graduation from Fort Johnson High School, where she made many life-long friends, in 1975. After graduation, she and her family moved to Houston, Texas where they remained.
Patty married the late John Micheal Bowen on August 19, 1978; they welcomed their daughter, Michelle, into the world. Patty married her soulmate, Robert (Bob) Walther on April 22, 2000 and the two of them shared almost 20 years of love, laughter, and loyalty before her passing.
Patty was known for the unconditional love she showed her many family and friends, who all held her dear to their hearts. Patty knew how to have fun, and was always up for a good time. She was kind, humorous, opinionated, and never afraid to speak her mind.
Patty loved her football and faithfully cheered on the LSU Tigers, New Orleans Saints, and Jenks Trojans. She loved Texas bluebonnets and the Bluebonnet Festival, cold Bud Light, Mardi Gras, crawfish, being with her family and friends, and making her home in Eunice. Patty’s outgoing personality will always be remembered, as it lent many stories and memories for her loved ones to cherish until they see her again.
Patty leaves behind her husband, Bob Walther; her daughter, Michelle Marie Nobles (Zack); her grandchildren, Cyeli Marie Nobles and Logan Scott Nobles; her sisters, Melissa Fann McAdam (Patrick), and Tracey Elizabeth Fann Vandevere (Douglas) and their families; her sister-in-law, Cyndy Parker and her family; her beloved dog, Bella; and many, many dear friends.
