DICKSIE STILES PATTERSON, of Scottsdale, passed away peacefully June 21st, 2020. She is reunited with her daughter Crystal. Dicksie was born March 12, 1941 to Lucille and Dick Stiles. She was the oldest of three brothers Don, Richard, and Dennis.
Dicksie raised three beautiful girls, Jolynn, Crystal, and Shelly, with Joe Arnold. All three daughters loved being with their mom throughout life. They shared an incredible bond and made amazing memories together with their families.
In 1998, Dicksie met the love of her life, John Harris Patterson. They married and spent their time devoted to family. They loved going to football games, and celebrating the lives of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dicksie never missed a birthday or a graduation. She was a constant source of support and wisdom. Everyone in the family knew they could call Dippy for encouragement and advice.
Harris and Dicksie traveled the world with great friends. Dicksie loved playing cards with the Garden Girls and watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Recently, Dicksie enjoyed planning unique family trips, bringing together four generations of love.
Dicksie was the heart and soul of our family. She was a shining light in the lives of those she met along her journey. Her light will never stop shining.

The Angle Family would like to send our condolences to all of your family.
I was recently reunited with Dicksie and had the pleasure of meeting Harris. We enjoyed reminiscing of the old days when our families were closer. Sharing many stories of my Dad I never knew. She enjoyed catching me up on her life and what all her children and grandchildren were doing.
She was a beautiful light and my first friend since moving back to the valley.
Our love and God’s blessings to you all.
