With hearts full of love and gratitude, we announce the passing of Patricia Kay Inglett Gross, our beloved mother, who went home to be with the Lord on Sunday morning, January 11, 2026, at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Though we mourn her loss, we find comfort in knowing she is now in the presence of her Savior, Jesus Christ. Her life was a beautiful reflection of His grace, kindness, and unwavering faith.
Patricia lived her life devoted to Christ. She prayed faithfully, trusted God completely, and shared His love with everyone she met. Her Bible was her constant guide, and her greatest joy was serving God and caring for her family. Through her words and actions, she taught others how to live with compassion, humility, and faith.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Billy Gross; her sons, Tim Gross of Georgia and Keith Gross of Tennessee; and her daughter, Lori (Donnie) Conway of Fredonia. She also leaves behind five cherished grandchildren, Steven (Kendall) Gross, Bailee Taylor, Grayson (Ashtynne) Gross, Kathrine Gross, and Carah (Logan) Young, as well as one precious great-grandson, Bennett Gross. Her greatest desire was for her family to walk closely with Jesus, and her love, prayers, and faith will continue to surround them until they meet again in glory.
Patricia was preceded in death by her mother, Ethel Lea Elkins Kirkpatrick; her brothers, James and Gene Kirkpatrick.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at Morgan’s Funeral Home with Bro. Ryan Scott officiating. Burial will follow in Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West in Hopkinsville.
Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at Morgan’s Funeral Home.
