Patricia "Patsy" Dawn Gazaleh

Patricia Dawn Gazaleh, 61, of Wallace passed from this earthly life to her eternal rest on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

She was born on October 18, 1963, in Wilmington, NC; the daughter of Patricia Cockman Gazaleh of Rose Hill and the late Zaki “Zak” Nasralla Gazaleh.

Patsy as she was affectionately called, grew up at Wells Chapel Baptist Church where she played church soft ball, was a member of GA’s and very involved in her church. 

Surviving in addition to her mother, is her brother, Nickolas “Nic” Gazaleh and wife, Cheryl of Wake Forest, NC; aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous extended family that loved Patsy dearly.

Patsy was a loving daughter and caring sister who loved her family with all her heart.  She was a graduate of Wallace-Rose Hill High School and continued her education at Brevard College for 2 years. She then attended NC State University, graduating with a BS/BA degree in English.  Later in life Patsy found her true calling which was nursing.   She studied hard and received her nurse’s degree and went to work in a doctor’s office.  Patsy never met a stranger.  She loved people and people loved her in return. Patsy will surely be missed but she will never be forgotten.  

Graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 29, 2025, at Wells Chapel Baptist Church Cemetery with Reverend Stan Jenkins officiating.
