Patricia "Pat" Garvin Oehlert, age 89, of Jasper, FL. passed away Monday, September 13, 2021 at Lake City Medical Center in Lake City, FL. following a brief illness.

Pat was born in Macon, Georgia on April 5, 1932 to the late Louie and Florence McLendon Garvin. She lived most of her life in Aiken, South Carolina. She married the love of her life Harvey E. Oehlert and in 1959 they moved to Jasper, FL. They were welcomed into the community with open arms as both of them had outgoing personalities. Harvey and Pat became active members of the First Presbyterian Church in Jasper. Pat was an ordained elder in the church and served as Treasurer for several years. She worked in Jasper for the Council on Aging in the accounting department until she was ready to retire. Pat was preceded in death by her husband Harvey and her only son, John. When her eyesight began to fail, she decided on her own to sell her home and move to Live Oak into assisted living. It was her wishes not to ever burden anyone by asking them to "take care of an old lady". It was this attitude that endured her to so many and she was never without friends offering to help her whenever she needed help.

Survivors include her nephew, Mike Pringle and nieces, Debra Mazer, Danni Minteer and Barbara Ketcherside.

Per her wishes, Pat was cremated and buried beside her husband and son.

A graveside memorial service was held on Wednesday, September 29, 2021 at Evergreen Cemetery in Jasper, FL. with personal reflections from Ryan Mitchell and Nan Hamm.
