Patricia "Pat" Ables, 62, of Dyersburg, Tennessee, died on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at Methodist Hospital-Germantown in Germantown, Tennessee.
Born Sunday, December 9, 1962, in Dyersburg, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Charles Colon Peery, Sr. and the late Henrietta Webber Peery.
She was employed by a retired employee of Southern Point.
Pat had a special fondness for Easter lilies, and over the years, she received many peace lilies—each one named and cared for in memory of someone dear to her heart.
Family meant everything to Pat. She treasured the time spent together, especially the Memorial Day weekends spent camping and floating down the Spring River—a tradition full of laughter, togetherness, and love.
A devoted animal lover, Pat had a deep bond with her beloved dogs, Smoke, Shy, and Sassy, who brought her immense joy. She also raised chickens and delighted in gathering eggs to share with her loved ones, always finding joy in the simple pleasures of life and the opportunity to give to others
