Patricia A. Waters

Patricia A. Waters, of Roanoke, Virginia, passed away on October 14, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved her dearly.

She was a beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister. She is survived by her mother, Norma J. Sullivan; her daughters, April D. McMahon and Angela L. Moran; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; sisters, Sandy Spradlin and Karen Jones; brothers, Tim Sullivan and Skip Sullivan; and her brother-in-law, Tom Jones. She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Holly J. Johnson.

Patricia will be remembered for her humor, contagious laughter, love of crime shows, Jeopardy!, and ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper. She shared a special bond with her granddaughter, Payton McMahon, filled with unforgettable memories and a bond that will last forever. Her words, “I’m gonna need a Diet Dr. Pepper after all this” will always bring a smile.

The beach was Patricia’s happy place, and one of her favorite memories was swimming with dolphins on a cruise with her best friend, Renee Sharp.

Patricia leaves behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories. May she find peace surrounded by endless sunshine, gentle ocean waves, and the freedom to swim with the dolphins once more.

The family will receive friends from 12 until 2 pm on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at Lotz Funeral Home in Vinton.

“Forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten”
