Patrice Lisa Lee O'Brien Hawthorne was born on May 12, 1968, to the late Andrew and Emelia O'Brien in The Port-of-Spain of Trinidad. Throughout her travels she came across the love of her life, Mark Anthony in Jackson, Mississippi. They were united in marriage in Hattiesburg, MS in 1998 and moved to Gulfport, MS to begin their beautiful family. Mark and Patrice were married for 25 years. They shared a love that only death could part.

Patrice was affectionately known by her siblings and very close friends as "Lisa" and others as "Caribbean Queen". Patrice was an amazing wife, mother, and sister. She was the epitome of a "Baseball Mom" and managed everything in her life to perfection. Her cooking was on par with her housekeeping abilities. After eating her Caribbean food, family and friends would declare "she put her foot in it". She put the balance in work/life. Her favorite saying was "goat don't make sheep". She always spoke her mind with true honesty. Patrice was indeed the life of the party. In fact, she was the party.

Patrice lived a beautiful life and poured everything she had into her family. She was a true servant. Having been justified by her faith in Christ, she transitioned from this life to her eternal home on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at Memorial Hospital.
