Patricia Guyton Baldwin

Patricia Guyton Baldwin Obituary Patricia Guyton Baldwin was born on March 8, 1963, in Alabama to the late Billy Ray and Eloise Sanders Guyton. She departed this life on December 12, 2024, at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle in Columbus, Mississippi. She accepted Christ at Fourth Street Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Gus Walker. Her spiritual journey continued as she followed him to Divine Healing Temple and later united with Kingdom Vision Church. Pat’s education included Union Academy, R.E. Hunt, and S.D. Lee High School, where she proudly graduated in 1982. She also cherished her time at Rust College in Holly Springs, which remained a source of pride throughout her life. Pat’s professional life was marked by the connections she made and the joy she brought to others. She met many lifelong friends while working at New Orleans Fried Chicken and Mt. Vernon Mills, where she remained until becoming disabled. Her warm personality and infectious laughter left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. Known as "the life of the party," Pat—or Trish, as she was affectionately called—never met a stranger. She greeted everyone with a smile that could brighten even the gloomiest day. Pat was a kind and gentle soul who spent nearly her entire life in Columbus but delighted in visiting family across the country. Her travels took her to Alabama, California, Michigan, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and Oklahoma. Even after being diagnosed with renal failure, Pat’s adventurous spirit didn’t falter. She enjoyed meeting new doctors, nurses, and patients at the many dialysis facilities she visited, often bringing her trademark cheer and positivity to those around her. Pat was preceded in death by her parents; her grandmother, Rosie Bell Guyton; her sisters, Diane Guyton and Brenda Quinn; her eldest son, Damien Maurice Tucker; her stepson, Curtis Baldwin Jr.; and a host of other loving relatives. She leaves to cherish her memory her loving husband of over 30 years, Curtis Baldwin; her children, Patrice Guyton of Columbus and Eddie Guyton Harris of Birmingham, AL; her special niece, Janie (Cataurus) Shields of Steens, and nephew Mark Guyton of Dallas, TX; and her beloved grandchildren: Kamiyah, Brady, Princeton, Legend, and Kali Grace. She also leaves behind her brother, Tony (Angela) Guyton of Altus, OK, along with a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, other relatives, bonus children, and countless friends who were touched by her vibrant spirit.
