Mrs. Patricia Ann Crowe Jarman was born in Atmore, Alabama on March, 22 1940 to the late Clarence and Hattie Kimbrough Crowe, one of three from the union. She peacefully passed on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at the Decatur Morgan County Hospital in the presence of loved ones. 

Pat was educated in the Escambia County School System and later matriculated to Alabama A&M University where she met and married the love of her life, Cleveland “Cleve” Jarman Jr. Pat and Cleve created a wonderful and loving home in Decatur, Alabama where this union was blessed with four children, Cleveland E. Jarman III (deceased), Cynthia, Kathy and Anya Jarman who they adored and doted over, along with their grandchildren. 

For over 30 years Pat was a dedicated educator at Moulton High School, Lakeside High School, and Oak Park Middle School where she touched the hearts and minds of many. It was a career she loved, especially her time as a science teacher, and many adult professionals today attribute their success to the dedication, passion and exuberance that she possessed in being an educator.
