Raising five boys is definitely not for the faint of heart. Patricia Dianne Exum (Pat) did it with pride and dedication. For 70 years, we were graced with her presence. She was a tough, headstrong, hardworking woman. Working various jobs and meeting many great friends along the way, she did what was needed to provide. Her love for her boys and family was shown everyday. She was known to spread this love and kindness to everyone she met. She was loved and
cherished by many.
Pat died peacefully on May 30, 2025. She was surrounded by her loved ones. Pat touched many lives, as many touched hers.
Pat Exum is survived by: her beloved husband—Don Exum; her siblings—Richard Turner (Judy) and Stephanie Krilla (Greg); her sons (and daughters-in-love)—John Craft (Karen), Chris Craft, Wendell Craft (Laura), Bobby Joe Craft (Jennifer), Kelly Lummus (Tony), Alvin May (Stacy), and Brad Exum (Maci); her grandchildren—Kayla Shoemaker (Andrew), Gideon Craft Rissman (Sophie), Olivia Craft, Amber Ebersole (Andrew), Wendell Craft Jr., Colton Craft (Amara) Hayden Craft, Peyton May, Marshall Craft, Tinsely Exum, Raven Clow, Dante Lumus, and MacKenzie Lummus; and many great grandchildren, nephews, and nieces. All of whom she loved deeply.
