Patricia Anna Scarborough (Patchen) ended her long battle with cancer and entered into Heaven on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at Brentwood Nursing Home in Waynesboro Georgia. Trish, as she was known to most of her family and friends was born on August 19, 1961 in Athens Georgia to the late Roy and Joyce Scarborough of Augusta. She was a lifelong resident of the CSRA, living over thirty years in North Augusta, South Carolina and the rest in Augusta, Georgia. Trish had a passion for life and a passion for people so it just came naturally when she found her career calling in sales. She spent many years in the local car industry working for many of the lots in the CSRA. Perhaps though, even more than cars, Trish loved music. Her voice was truly stunning and her ability to play the guitar was simply beautiful. For her, music was as effortless as breathing.

Trish is survived by her two daughters, Annaliah Rhodes, Jessica Cox (Lynwood), two grandchildren, Adilynn Rhodes, Lily Masters, and two step grandchildren, Ina Cox and Brayden Cox. She is also survived by her brother Timothy Scarborough (Kimberly), a great aunt Jeanne Knotts (the late Rev. Thomas M. Knotts) and her beloved cousins Jon Knotts(Karen), Jay Knotts (Laura), Noelle Knotts, Robert Chartrand (Pamala), Wanda Garrard, nieces Angela Scarborough, Kristen Farr, a nephew, Brian Hillard and a multitude of cousins all of whom she loved dearly.

She is preceded in death by her parents Roy Scarborough Jr. and Joyce Knotts Scarborough, her maternal grandparents Daisey Gleaton Knotts and Ulysses Simeon Knotts, her paternal grandparents Anna Bessie McCoy Scarborough and Roy (Red) Scarborough Sr, uncles, Rev. Tomas M Knotts, Ostell Scarborough, Ulysses S Knotts Jr, Aunts, Marylou Knotts Martin, Betty Bowman (the late Rev Dr Gene Bowman), Dixie Scarborough and nephew Hunter Lee Scarborough

In leu of flowers, the family asks that to honor Trish and her memory that you take the time today to just be kind to your fellow human. Life is too short to be anything other than kind, so if you would take the time to stop and listen to a stranger who needs an ear, or help a elderly neighbor unload their groceries, or just extend grace where you otherwise might not. Flowers wilt away but kindness lives on forever.
