Patti Wier
Patti Henson Wier, 54, gracefully went to be with Jesus in her home surrounded by her loving family, following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
She was preceded in death by her father, Bob Henson.
She is survived by her husband and soul mate of 32 years, Brad Wier; children, Scott Wier, Seth Wier and Rachel Wier; mother, Edna Earle Henson, of Chattanooga; brother, Jeff (Donna) Henson, Chickamauga; sister, Lori (Sid) Brooks, Signal Mountain; sister-in-law, Angela Wier, Birmingham; and beloved niece and nephews, Brent Henson, Taylor Brooks and Owen Brooks.
Patti was born in Montgomery, on Oct. 31, 1964, to Bob and Edna Earle Henson. She moved to Chattanooga as a young child and graduated from East Ridge High School in 1983. She graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1986 with a degree in business management. She then married the love of her life on November 15, 1986.
They moved to Charlotte, NC for a few years before returning to Signal Mountain in 1994. She was an active member of Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church (SMPC) for over 25 years. Brad and Patti were actively involved in helping plant a new church in Southside called Resurrection Church. SMPC is one of the churches providing financial support to Resurrection.
Her faith never wavered during a long journey of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, including many trips to Baltimore and a lengthy stay at Johns Hopkins Hospital. During her illness, she continued to care for and minister to everyone who came into contact with her.
She was most proud of her amazing children, who she treasured more than anything. Her biggest wish was to glorify God through her strength and resilience.
Please join us on Sunday, April 28, at 2 p.m. at Signal Mountain Presbyterian to celebrate her life.
Family visitation will follow in the fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to SMPC, Patti Wier Memorial for new church development.
