Patsy Lou Martinez, age 68, of Sebring, FL, graduated to Jesus, Friday, December 4, 2020.  She was born April 2, 1952 in Lexington, KY to John McDonald and Dorothy (Jones) Fields.  Patsy was known as the anchor for all things.  Whether singing joyfully in the choir as a member of First United Methodist Church, coordinating shopping for the Ag Angels for the Children for Cracker Trail, gathering her family together for a home cooked meal, or walking the halls and greeting the kids at her beloved bookkeeping job with Cracker Trail elementary (where she earned the affectionate nicknames “Mama Patsy” and “Candy Lady”), Patsy didn’t know a stranger. And if you needed a helping hand with anything, you could always count on her to be there.  Patsy is survived by her Husband of 51 years (52 on Dec 24 ^th )– Cesar Martinez of Sebring, FL; Sons – Cesar Martinez, Jr (Marlen) of Sebring, FL; Marcus Shane Martinez of Sebring, FL; Daughter – Marissa L. Martinez of Nashville, TN; Brothers – Mike Fields of Mansfield, TX; Tim Fields of Powell, TN; Scott Fields of Parkersburg, WV; Grandchildren – Garrett A. Martinez and Hunter A. Martinez.  Memorial services will be held Saturday, December 12, 2020 at 12 Noon with receiving line beginning at 11:00 am. at the First United Methodist Church of Sebring with Rev. David Juliano officiating.  For friends and family unable to attend, the service will be streamed at www.facebook.com/FirstSebring
