Pat, age 67, died peacefully on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 after a courageous battle with neck cancer. She was born on April 2, 1947 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, the daughter of John Walter Spain, Jr. and Mary Frances McBroom Vollmer. In later years, she was fortunate to share a loving relationship with her step-father Robert Lee Vollmer. "Tish" lived in and around Lascassas, Tennessee surrounded by a very large, loving family. She spent her time with cousins doing silly things such as counting every name in the phone book one Spring Break. In 1960, she and her family moved to San Antonio, Texas. At the age of 13, she made friends that she would keep till she passed; her golden friends. Over the next thirty-five years, she fell in love three times, had a daughter and became a loyal and dedicated employee working most all her life in the Food Broker industry. She enjoyed her job and as a bonus, forged important life-long friendships that she treasured deeply. And those friends treasured her as well. Pat was passionate about her plants, sunsets, sunrises, Nature, Nascar, cooking, and baking. She enjoyed the simple things in life, always looking to give someone a lil' something. She was a very giving and sharing person. Her mother said it best that "she'd give you the shirt off of her back." Her easy-going personality coupled with her acceptance of other's flaws made her a blessing to all that knew her. Her easy-going spirit served her well especially during her long two-year battle with cancer. Never did she complain about the daily struggle she endured, week after week, month after month. She smiled and looked forward to beating that nasty disease. Her strong will and "fight" was an inspiration to ALL. Pat is survived by her love of over twenty years, Tommy Shely; daughter Jaime Renee Cofield and son-in-law Chance Cofield; granddaughters Grayson McKenna Cofield and Presley Belle Cofield; grandson Cannon Jace Cofield; sister Donna Dunlap and brother-in-law Mike; step-sister Bobbie Schaeff and husband Larry; step-brother John Vollmer and wife Penny; half-sister Rhonda Segobiano; brother-by-heart Kyle Rathburn; and numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. "Tish's" celebration of life will be held Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 3 pm at Mission Park South, 1700 SE Military Drive, San Antonio, Texas with Pastor Sean Metcalf and family friend Geoff Smith officiating. Graveside services to follow. Donations in Pat's honor would be greatly appreciated to The Hope Center Food Pantry & Thrift Store, 4476 N.
