Patsy Lou Reid (Wills-Mace), 89, of Mantua, Ohio, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family and friends on May 7th, 2026.
Patsy was born in Hazy West Virginia, raised in the coal mine camp by her parents Carl and Blanche Mace. She was a devoted daughter and a loving sister to Barbara(Ted) Mosley and Wanda (Bob) Roush.

She was a grandmother to Angel, Sandy, Holly, Lauren, Jack, Dane, Alex, Alexis, Lindsey, CJ, Clay, Jake, Kylee, Rian and Kyrstin.
