Patricia “Pat” Jean Wood passed away peacefully at home after a battle with cancer on October 14, 2024. Pat was born on December 2, 1934 to John and Helen Braun of St. Joseph, Missouri.
Pat married her high school sweetheart, Ed, in 1953 and remained a devoted wife for 56 years prior to his passing in 2009. She was a loving mother to her two children, Mike and Sherry.
She worked in the medical field throughout her life and continued to do so as a volunteer after retiring. A breast cancer survivor, Pat devoted much of her time to serving those affected by breast cancer, particularly by serving as a hospital volunteer for those undergoing treatment and screening for breast cancer.
Affectionately known as “Nanny” to her numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and other beloved friends and family, Pat loved to cook and bake for all of those around her. She was known to deliver slices of pie and cake to her neighbors and friends at the Riverwalk Flats in Flower Mound.
Pat enjoyed spending many of her years with her husband and family on Lake Texoma and Lake Whitney. She had a great love for dachshunds, and cared for several throughout her lifetime, including her latest pup, Molly. She could often be found playing a slot machine at a casino. Pat had an infectious smile and laugh that would light up any room. Pat cherished her Catholic upbringing and was a devout and faithful follower of the faith.
She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Helen Braun, husband, Edward “Ed” Wood, son, Michael “Mike” Wood, brother, John Braun, Jr., and sister, Sandra Huseth.
