Patsy Eilene (Trayer) Herbert, age 77, of St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away October 8, 2023, with her family by her side. She was born to the late Lloyd and Ruthann Trayer, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. She has been married to Estel Herbert since 1967 and is survived by her husband, brother Larry Trayer, sister MaryAn Trego, sons: Lloyd, Kevin, and Wayne, ten grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Patsy was a devoted wife, loving mother, and caring friend. After high school, she travelled to Kansas City, Missouri to begin training as an airline stewardess. While there, she met Estel, and they were married shortly thereafter. Job changes moved the young family from Kansas City to cities in Massachusetts and Kansas until finally settling in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1978. She was very proud of her family and encouraged her sons to be good citizens through good manners and hard work. She was always her children’s and grandchildren’s most vocal cheerleader at whatever event they participated in. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her and loved her.
