Patsy Jean Fincher Daugherty

Mrs. Patsy Jean Fincher Daugherty, age 76, of Cedartown died in Cedartown following several years of declining health.

She was born in Cedartown, GA on August 1, 1942 a daughter of the late Thomas Elmer Fincher and Ethel Louise Maxwell Fincher. She had been a lifelong resident of Polk County and was a graduate of Cedartown High School. Mrs. Daugherty was of the Baptist faith. She formerly owned and operated Patsy's Ceramic & Gifts of Rockmart. In 2010 she retired from the Polk School District where she worked in various schools in the food services operation.

She enjoyed crafts of all kinds and was especially fond of hairpin lace, having made many beautiful pieces for friends and family members through the years. You could often find her on her porch swing watching the numerous bird varieties that frequented her many feeders. While all the birds that appeared were a treat to her, hummingbirds were always her favorites. It wasn't unusual to find six or more feeders ready to welcome the tiny guests. Her love of hummingbirds spilled over into a collection that decorated her home.

In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Gary Daugherty, Sr. to whom she was married on December 31, 1961, son, Richard Gary Daugherty, Jr. and son in law, Dr. O.E. Brannan.
