Patsy Burns Holekamp, of Kerrville, Texas, died on Sunday, December 26, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas. She was born in Elgin, Texas on September 25, 1924 to Winifred McCall and Pat Burns.
After graduating from Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University), she moved to Kerrville to teach school, where she met Raymond "Doc" Holekamp. They got married on August 6, 1949.
