Patricia Lynn Gautreaux, 61, of Pollard, Arkansas, passed away March 4, 2026, surrounded by her family.

She was born on April 2, 1964, in Piggott, Arkansas, and was the daughter of Lon Wesley "Sonny" and Mazie Pearl (Worley) Johnson.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Pearl Johnson.

Patricia was a woman whose life was profoundly defined by love, unwavering faith, and a deep commitment to serving others. Known for her servant's heart, she found her greatest fulfillment in caring for those around her. This calling manifested in many meaningful ways throughout her life. For many years, she devoted herself to the care of elderly patients as a homemaker and caregiver. She approached this work with exceptional compassion, treating each individual with dignity, patience, and genuine kindness. Beyond seeing them as patients, she recognized them as people deserving of respect and value, and she possessed a rare gift for making them feel truly seen, loved, and cared for. Earlier in her career, she nurtured young lives as a daycare and preschool teacher. In those formative years for countless children, she provided guidance, education, and tender care with boundless patience, energy, and affection. Her nurturing presence helped shape little hearts and minds, leaving a lasting positive impact on many who were blessed by her warmth and dedication. Above all, her deepest love was reserved for her family. She was known for her attentive concern for her children, extended family, and especially her grandchildren-a reflection of profound affection rather than mere worry. She constantly sought their well-being and desired only the best for them, offering unconditional love that remained steadfast through every season.

Patricia leaves behind an enduring legacy of love that lives on in her children, grandchildren, extended family, and the many lives she touched. Patricia is survived by her son, Wesley (Nikki) Gautreaux of Brookland, Arkansas; daughter, Chelsea (Connor Rodery) Scott of Piggott, Arkansas; father, Sonny Johnson of Pollard, Arkansas; grandchildren: Zoe, Weston, Walker, Aden, Adalee, Emma, and Kollins; siblings: Tony (Paula) Johnson, Ronald (Brandi) Johnson, Randy (Carla) Johnson, Larry (Cindy) Johnson, and Lori (Ronnie) Welty; and many other relatives and friends.
