Patricia Ann Pugh Rowley
Born July 22, 1950 in Grove Hill, Alabama to James and Gladys Pennington Pugh. Passed away in Springfield, Ohio on Friday September 19, 2025 after a fatal car accident.
She graduated Theodore High School in Mobile, Alabama in 1968. She worked in many customer service fields over the years. She was married to James (Buddy) Thompson, until 1982, whom she had two children with. She just celebrated her 75th birthday. She loved to travel and go driving when she was able. When unable to get out, she was a very avid reader who enjoyed keeping a book close by at all times. She lived a million different lives and was still able to travel through those books. She loved rock-n-roll and country music. She was always around to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on. She was quick witted and always brought life to a room. She lived to the fullest and will always be remembered for her enormous heart and smile.
Those who preceded her in death Siblings Linda Wiggins, Gary Pugh and Danny Pugh. The surviving family includes daughter Julie Thompson (Richard Dennin) and son Jason Thompson (Dawn Thompson). Grandchildren Aleigha Colunga (Stephen Colunga), Destiny Dennin, Serenity Dennin, Conner Dennin, and Rikki Dennin. Great grandchildren Ryder Colunga and Hunter Colunga.
