Patricia Ann Upchurch Frost

Mrs. Patricia Ann Upchurch Frost, 72, loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother and friend to all that knew her, passed away on Friday, May 20, 2016, at Forsyth Medical Center. Patricia was born on January 18, 1944, in Washington D.C. to the late Eugene Coleman Upchurch and Melba Lee Batchelor Upchurch. Following childhood years spent in Zebulon, NC she eventually moved to Greensboro, NC where she met the tall and handsome lifeguard (Roger) at the local swimming pool. Soon they married and went on to share 56 loving and devoted years together. Patricia began a career in banking as a teller with First Citizens Bank in Greensboro and then Home Federal S&L. After moving to Winston-Salem she began working for First Federal S&L as a Branch Manager. She and her staff ran one of the highest performing branches in their system. Patricia loved her customers dearly and they loved her as well. In later years she could rarely go anywhere without running into a customer/friend and catching up. She worked through the mergers with Southern National and would then retire early from BB&T. Retirement years were spent at Lake Norman with family and friends, loving on her grandkids and attending their sporting events/activities and enjoying time with her Red Hat friends.
