Catherine Patterson

Pickens, SC

The world has lost a kind soul as we announce the passing of Catherine Riggins Patterson on March 15, 2024, at the age of 76, following an extended illness. Born on October 18, 1947, in Six Mile, SC, to the late George and Ressie Dodson Riggins, Catherine leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will forever be cherished by her family and friends.

Catherine dedicated her life to serving others as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Rosemond. Her caring nature touched the lives of many, and her commitment to helping those in need was truly remarkable.

Catherine’s love for her family knew no bounds. She leaves behind her beloved husband, Robert K. Patterson. They had been together for over 53 years. Her adoring children Travis Patterson (Amy), Cindy Hall, and Diane McCall (Lee), and sisters Lucille McCollum, Avenell Hendricks, and Sarah Trotter. She was blessed to have 8 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by a daughter, Lisa Cooper; a sister, Elizabeth Young; a brother, Charles Riggins and a grandson, Robert Luke Patterson.

In her free time, Catherine found joy in cheering on her Clemson Tiger Football team, and showering affection on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her radiant smile and warm presence will forever be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

To celebrate Catherine’s life, a visitation will be held at Liberty Mortuary on March 19, 2024, from 12:00 until 1:30 PM, followed by a graveside service at Hillcrest Memorial Park at 2:00 pm.

Although Catherine may no longer be with us in person, her spirit will live on through the memories and love she shared with everyone she met. May she rest in peace, knowing she made a profound impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Grandma Cathy you were loved by so many people. It’s not fair how life is but we all know that you are no longer suffering. We love you so much

Cathy and I have been very close friends from the time we met. In our younger years we spent a lot of time together. We had many good times together. Our children played together and we were sister-in-law but more like sisters. Cathy was good to everyone she met. And she never met a stranger. She loved her family with everything she had. She is one lady who will never be forgotten. I love you Cathy and we will always be sisters. Wait for me inside the gates of Pearl. We will walk over Heaven together. I will never forget you!!

To the whole Riggins family!! I'm so sorry to hear about Catherine passing!! I'm praying for the whole family!! Kaye Powell

She was such a a precious lady . My heart breaks for all her family and friends. Carlton thought so much of her I can only imagine their reunion in heaven.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
