Patti L. Welch 1963 - 2025 Patti L. Welch, 64, of Summit, passed away on July 5, 2025 at St. Dominic’s Hospital in Jackson.

A memorial visitation was held on July 15, from 6PM until 8PM at Hartman-Jones Funeral Home of McComb. No services will follow.

Patti was born July 28, 1960 in McComb, to the late, Jarrette “J.D.” and Patsy “Pat” Moak Hall.

Patti had a gypsy soul and a heart full of love. She found peace on her front porch with the radio playing and was happiest when family came to visit—especially her grandbabies and great-grandbabies. She loved to laugh and was always ready with a corny joke or a quick smile.

Though she carried many struggles in life, she never let them weigh others down. She gave love freely and always tried to keep in touch with family and friends, no matter what. Now that she’s gone, we find comfort knowing there’s a joyful reunion in heaven with Nanny and Papa, whom she missed so deeply.

Patti was preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her life partner, Willis King; 1 son, Jeremy D. Stockton (Ashley); 2 daughters, Misty L. Stockton and Amy N. Stockton; 1 brother Jarrette D. Hall (Carol), 5 grandchildren Tylin Crum, Abby Crum, Delaney Farris (Blake), Harper Hale and Grayson Stockton; 2 great-grandchildren, Remi Howard and Thomas Farris; 1 nephew, Jarrette “Daniel” Hall (Kamree) and 1 niece, Dori Steele (Justin).
