It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Patsy Jo Barrett Wills, born August 31, 1950, to the late Robert Luther Barrett and Katherine Joe Easter. She passed from this world peacefully on July 12, 2026, after losing a short battle with Leukemia.

She was a beloved Wife, Mother, Oma, and Friend, cherished by all who knew her. She never met a stranger whose day she didn't try to make a little brighter. Her favorite thing to do was to dress up for each holiday; whether it was a festive shirt or a full blown costume with a wig. If there was silliness and laughter, she was always a part of it. She loved going to the Senior Center and hanging out with her friends there.

She is survived by her husband of 58 years, Paul Lee Wills Sr., her children, Jennifer Picklesimer (Mark), Paul Wills Jr.,  Brandon Wills, Brittany Putman (Richard), five grandsons; Matthew, Jacob, and Joshua Picklesimer, and Levi and Logan Putman. Robert Barrett (brother), Donnie Easter (half-brother), Betty Bates (half-sister),Cathy Boley (Cousin) and many longtime friends.

Visitation will be held Thursday, July 16th, from 6-8pm at Ashby's Funeral Home. Funeral services will take place Friday, July 17th, at 10am at Ashby's as well. Burial to follow at New Rosemont Cemetery in Benton.
