Patsy Barbara Sexton

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Patsy Sexton of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, who passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025 in Chester County Hospital surrounded by her family.  She was 79 years old.

Born in Skygusty, West Virginia, Patsy carried the warmth and strength of her roots throughout her life.  She was the devoted wife of Joseph Sexton, with whom she shared 64 wonderful years of love, laughter and companionship.  Together, they build a family full of love and cherished memories.

Patsy was the proud and loving mother of Dawn Thomforde, Kim Sexton, Lisa Sexton and Joy Sexton.  Her kindness and wisdom will live on in the lives of her grandchildren, Joseph Miegel (Sunni), Julia MacCready (Alex) and Elizabeth Sexton (Jeremy Baise), as well as her precious great-grandchildren, Parker Miegel, Harper MacCready and Callum MacCready.

Patsy found joy in life's simple pleasures - she was an avid reader with a love for mysteries and cherished every moment spent with family and friends.  A woman of deep community spirit, she was a proud member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Ladies Auxiliary and a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church of Toughkenamon. 

Her warmth, generosity and unwavering love will be deeply missed but never forgotten.  As we mourn her passing, we celebrate her beautiful life and the love she shared with everyone who knew her.

A viewing will be from 10:00AM to 11:00AM with a funeral service at 11:00AM on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at the LONGWOOD FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION of MATTHEW GENEREUX, 913 East Baltimore Pike, Kennett Square.  Burial will follow in Union Hill Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Patsy's memory may be made to the Toughkenamon Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 369, Toughkenamon, PA 19374.

May she rest in eternal peace, forever surrounded by love.
