Patricia Joyce Etoria Francis-Edman, age 78, peacefully transitioned from labor to reward on April 23, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones. Born on July 4, 1947, in Kingston, Jamaica, to Ruby Hall and Austin Manning, Patricia was a woman of unwavering faith, compassion, and service. She later relocated to England before settling in the United States, where she devoted her life to caring for others as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
Patricia faithfully served at Faithful Gospel Deliverance Church of God, holding many roles including Missionary President, Evangelist, Elder, Secretary, and Choir Director. She was known for her kindness, wisdom, generosity, and steadfast commitment to God and others.
She leaves to cherish her memory two daughters-in-law, fifteen grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and a host of extended family members, dear friends, and beloved church family. Patricia was preceded in death by her loving parents, Ruby Hall and Austin Manning, and her beloved children, Marjorie Francis, Clifton Francis, Kevin Francis, and Benjamin Francis.
