Patricia Carol (Hooper) Malone

Patricia “Trish” Carol Hooper Land Malone, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and faithful Christian, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.

Born on March 3, 1948, to the late J. R. and Geneva Daughtery Hooper, Patricia’s life was a beautiful reflection of her deep faith in God and her love for family. She was a devoted Christian who found great joy sharing God’s love. Patricia’s heart was boundless, and her generosity knew no limits. She was a member of Mount Verd Baptist Church.

Patricia’s greatest joy was her family. As a mother, she was a source of love, wisdom, and strength. As a grandmother, she cherished every moment with her grandchildren, passing on a legacy of faith and love. She was always there for her family, offering support, prayer, and a kind word whenever needed.

She is survived by her children and grandchildren: Lanissa Land, Jeff (Tina) Land, Wayne (Angie) Land, Jeffery Land, MaKayla (Aaron) Land Carver, Brian Malone, and Nicholas Ghormley. Survivors also include several great-grandchildren, who Trish held close to her heart, and many siblings who will greatly miss her.

Patricia’s memory will live in the hearts of all who knew her. She is now at peace with her Savior, and her legacy of love, faith, and family will continue to inspire all who loved her.
