Obituary
Pat was born on May 22, 1948, in El Paso, Texas to Elmer and Betty Buster. She had a deep love for music, animals, and the calming artistry of Bob Ross, whose paintings reflected the peace and beauty she appreciated throughout her life.
Pat will be remembered for her warm heart and gentle spirit that she shared with family and friends. Her love, encouragement, and unwavering devotion created lasting memories that will continue to inspire those fortunate enough to have known her.
She is survived by her sister, Linda Merrell; her brothers, David Buster (Ginny) and Dale Buster; her daughters, Angela Shackelford and Melissa Manning (Craig); her son, David Clark; and her beloved grandchildren: Victoria Haley, Jett Manning, Estella Manning, and Willow Manning, who lovingly referred to her as Memaw Granny, and numerous extended family members, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Betty Buster of Texarkana, Texas.
A memorial gathering to celebrate Pat's life will be held on August 1, 2026. Family and friends are invited to attend, share memories, and honor the life of a woman whose kindness and love touched so many.
Though she is no longer with us in person, Pat's love and gentle spirit will remain a guiding presence in the lives of those who loved her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
