Our board is made up of educators and community members committed to furthering Lee County School System’s standard of excellence in education.




Patsy has served our Lee County Community with great fervor for 15 years, implementing such programs, through Lee County Family Connection, as Backpack Blessings, the Christmas Store, Literate Lee, and an award-winning Youth Leadership program.
She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Lee County Chamber of Commerce, Lee County Library, Lee County Education Foundation, Southwest Georgia Community Action Council, and the Distinguished Alumni committee.
Patsy was named the Lee County Chamber of Commerce Woman of the Year in 2012 and was also named the Lee County Kiwanian of the Year in 2012. In 2016, Lee County Family Connection, Inc. was named Non-Profit of the Year.
Patsy grew up in Sylvester, Georgia – the youngest of 3 girls – in a single-parent home. Even though she grew up without many material items, she grew up with much love. It is because of the indelible mark her childhood left upon her that she is so passionate about the work of Family Connection – whose mission is to work as a catalyst for improving the quality of life for Lee County’s children and families.
