Patricia Planitz

Decatur, IL |

Our Beloved, Patricia Lynn Planitz, age 52, joined Heaven's Angels on November 28, 2021, after a long battle with cancer.

Trish was born July 24, 1969, in Granite City, IL, to James and Sheryl Planitz. She resided there until the age of seven, when the family moved to Decatur, IL, where she graduated from Eisenhower High School, and later moved to Tennessee, where she resided with her life partner Linda Scott.

Trish was most comfortable in her kitchen cooking and spending time with her dog. She was a gifted writer, cook, decorator, and landscape artist. She enjoyed music, nature, laughter, animals, and life.

Surviving her is her life partner of 17 years, Linda Scott; her mother, Sherly England; sister, Shelly Anderson and Steve Spent; three half brothers: Sam Sanders, Jimmy and Joey Planitz; aunts: Carol Norton and Rebecca Wills Sparks; extended family and friends.

A private celebration of life ceremony was held on December 11, 2021, at her home in Tennessee.

In lieu of flowers, Patricia and family request donations be made in her memory to the Cancer Society or your local animal shelter.

A very special thank you to everyone who prayed, supported, and love each of us. Also, to Dr. Penley and staff of St. Thomas Hospital, Nashville, TN, for their kindness, knowledge, and loving care. We appreciate you all.
