Patricia Ann Nowlen Cruce, age 65, of Monticello, Arkansas, passed away at her home Friday, May 5, 2023. She was born March 4, 1958, in Drew County, Arkansas to the late Fred Nowlen and Kathleen Williams Nowlen. Pat was employed with Burlington Industries in Monticello until they closed and then went on to work for Union Rescue Missions. She was a member of New Life Assembly of God Church in Monticello. She loved fishing, cooking, and her weenie dogs, but her greatest love was spending time with her only grandchild, Ali Jo Cruce. Pat wrote her greatest inspiration in her life was Mr. William Tolette who helped her when she was down to believe in herself again. Mr. William and his wife Rhonda led her to the Lord.
