Ms. Pattie also had a love for music, especially singing, and treasured the time she spent with the Church Choirs and Carteret Chorale.

Those remaining to cherish her memory are her children, Michael Scarborough (Angel) of Atlantic Beach, FL, John Eaton III (Holly) of San Diego, CA, Frank Eaton of Beaufort, NC, Ray Eaton (Cindy) of Carolina Shores, NC, and Annie Eaton Swain of Morehead City, NC; grandchildren, Chase Voight, Cori Voight Newell (Ben), Ellis Swain, Sarah Johnson (James), Ross Eaton (Katie), and Heather Eaton; and great grandchildren, Caden, Conrad, and Charlie Newell and Keely Eaton.

In addition to her parents, Ms. Pattie was preceded in death by her husband, John “Bud” Holman Eaton II; sister, Kitty Bell Tyner; and brothers, Charles Bell and Raymond Bell.
