Patricia Ann Maxwell was born on Aug. 30, 1960 in Opelousas, La. to Lawrence Winford and Eva Lee Johnson.

Patricia was a graduate of Lake Charles High School and later received her Nurses Aid Certification.  Her love for the elderly led her to work in the compassionate care field for several years.  At the time of her earthly departure, she was employed at Sam’s Club for almost 36 years where she was a Department Team Leader.

She was a fun-loving and enthusiastic woman with a zeal for life and a welcoming personality.  Above all, her love of family was foremost in her heart.  Spending time and daily phone calls with her children and grandchildren was the highlight of her life.

Her smile and memories will endure in the hearts of her beloved husband of 32 years, Alberto Maxwell; her children, LaTonya Lynn Winford and Alberto Maxwell V; her three grandchildren, Caden Mitchell, Jayce Mitchell, and Azura Maxwell; her nieces, nephews, and host of family and friends.

Her funeral will be at 12 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024 in Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church.  Visitation is Tuesday 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Stevens’ Funeral Home.
