Obituary
Ethel Holtz Ratcliff
Ethel "Patsy" Holtz Ratcliff passed away peacefully at her home in Belvedere Commons, Sun City Center, Fla. on Christmas Day, December 25, 2017 after her courageous battle with cancer. She was formerly from Fredonia, N.Y.
Born in Silver Creek, N.Y. on March 20, 1941. Patsy was the daughter of the late Hazel Taylor and Walter and Elsie Taylor.
She is survived by her daughter and best friend, Kim (Steve) Williams of Wimauma, Fla., her son Donald Holtz Jr. of Lexington, Ky., an adopted son, Chris (Sherrie) Lee, of Clearwater, Fla., and a stepson, Donald (Mari) Ratcliff, of Kokomo, Ind. She is also survived by a stepsister, Dee Dee Ogden of Dunkirk, N.Y., six grandchildren and one great-grandson.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Donald "Duke" Holtz, who passed away in 2003, and her second husband, Jim Ratcliff who passed away in 2009. She is also preceded by three sisters, Donna Sullivan, Katherine Hallett and Marilyn LaBarbera, and two stepbrothers, Sonny and Jack Morrison.
Patsy considered everyone she met a friend and especially the many close friends she made and loved at Belvedere Commons. Always a smile on her face, she made you feel better just being near her.
A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family
