Patricia Kay Savell Suydam, 67, of Lake Charles passed away at 10:24 PM on Sunday, February 17, 2019 in her residence.

Mrs. Suydam was born in Pineville on June 18, 1951 and resided in Lake Charles most of her life where she was a Lake Charles High School graduate. She continued her education at Sowela Technical Institute earning her LPN degree. Throughout her career as a nurse, she worked for many different physicians and hospitals.

She will be most remembered for her love of canning. All of her physicians who attended to her will surely miss her “sweet treat”.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Zola and Charles Savell, Sr.
