PRINCETON – Patricia Faye Harvey Price Goodman, 49, of Princeton, died Saturday, February 2, 2013 with her family by her side singing "I'll Fly Away." Born October 1, 1963 in Williamson, she was the daughter of William Harvey and Elitha Thompson Harvey of Princeton. One of her favorite scriptures was, "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress. My God in Him I will trust." Psalm 91:2. Patty was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Bluefield.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1003 Wyoming Street, Bluefield, with Celebrant Father Paul Wharton officiating. Interment will follow at the New Zion Cemetery in Princeton.
