Patricia Hartness

Cochran Funeral Home of Blairsville announces services for Patricia Hartness, age 68, of Blairsville, who passed away Wednesday evening, October 22, 2014, in Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Pat was born in Cleveland, Georgia, on September 27, 1946, a daughter of the late George Tom McGuire and the late Alene Young McGuire. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Pat was always there for her family....when they hurt, she hurt. Whenever there was a need, Pat was there loving, helping and supporting. She worked for many years as a Parapro with the Union County School System. She loved the children that she taught and was always concerned about them, helping with their problems and glorying in their achievements. Pat also had a burden for the older people of our county, especially those in the nursing home, where she visited often and loved on the residents. She was a member of Liberty Baptist Church.

Pat will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially her family: husband Rob, of Blairsville; daughters, Lisa Mason, of Cleveland, Georgia; daughter, Leslie Jones, of Blairsville, and son, Branden Hartness, of Blairsville; sister, Yvonne Rogers, of Gainesville, Georgia, and brother, Hoyt Young, of Blytheville, Arkansas; five grandchildren: Johnathan Hampton, Dustin Jones, Tylan Jones, Dalton Hollis, and Kiley Hartness; and a great granddaughter, Madison Schandera.

Visitation will be held at Cochran Funeral Home on Sunday, October 26, 2014, starting at 1 p.m., and last until 3 pm. Funeral services will start at 3:00 p.m., to be held in the Chapel of Cochran Funeral Home of Blairsville.
