Mrs. Rebecca Patterson Fishback

January 6, 1917 - April 14, 2017

Mrs. Rebecca Patterson Fishback, age 100, of Oakland, Kentucky answered her call to Glory on, Friday, April 14, 2017, while in the comfort of her home. Rebecca was born, January 6, 1917, a daughter to the late William Patterson and Clyde Jordan Patterson. She attended the Oakland Mt. Zion Church School in Oakland, Kentucky. At the age of 13, she gave her life to Christ and united with the Oakland Mt. Zion Baptist Church, there she remained a dedicated and faithful member throughout her life. Rebecca was a devoted wife to the late Rev. Raymond Fishback and during their life together she supported him wholeheartedly while he served for some 28 years as the Moderator of the Liberty District. Rebecca’s days were filled with her dedication of taking care of the family and home while her husband worked the farm. Rebecca truly had a gift for caring for others; she visited the nursing homes, had numerous telephone friends, all the while she still cooked three hot meals a day and enjoyed gardening. Rebecca had an unconditional love and genuine spirit about her, she loved to sing solos and supported not just her husband in the ministry but divided her time in supporting her three sons in the ministry also. Rebecca has taken in sons, grandsons, nieces and others making them feel special and cared for.

Lash; brothers, William Patterson and J.D. Patterson; grandchildren, DaValos Shobe, Sheryl A. Trammell, Donnie L. Shobe whom she raised as a son, and Derrick Lewis. The cherished memories of Rebecca will be held dear by her children, Rev. William (Greta) Fishback, Rev. Lee Roy (Carolyn) Fishback, Rev. Charles (Linda) Fishback, all of Bowling Green, Kentucky and Lillie Fishback Mitchell, Oakland, Kentucky; grandson raised as a son Paul Shobe, Jr ; 16 grandchildren; 28 great grandchildren; 41 great great grandchildren; and 1 great-great-great grandchild; sisters, Clyde Marie Bibbs, Bowling Green, Kentucky and Johnie L.
