Tam was born in Surry County, September 15, 1920, the daughter of the late Escar Floyd Patterson Sr and Julila Elizabeth Whitaker. She was retired from Amos and Smith Hosiery of Mount Airy after many years of service. She married Stuart Lowry Gates in Ararat, Patrick County, Virginia on Aug 10, 1957. Surviving is her sister-in-law Nancy Lee George Patterson and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Stuart Lowry Gates, her parents, as well as sisters Mildred Jessup, Irene Carter (her identical twin), Mary Ruth Booth, and brothers Wade Odell Patterson, Escar Floyd "Bob" Patterson Jr, and John Joyner Patterson. A funeral service will be held Tuesday November 30, 2021, at 2:00 PM at Moody Funeral Home Chapel. Interment will be held at Oakdale Cemetery in Mount Airy immediately following the funeral. The family will receive friends from 1:00 - 2:00 PM at the funeral home. Flowers will be accepted or memorials may be made to the Salvation Army of Mount Airy, 651 South South St., Mount Airy, NC 27030. An interesting point is the first name on her diploma from the 1937 Copeland High School shows as Edith, even though the family called her "Tam". Her twin sister Irene shows her name as Ruby Irene Patterson, but went by the name of Irene and was called "Rink". Although she didn't have children, she considered all of us nephews and nieces as her children and we looked to her as our older sister. :-) She always sent us birthday cards, short letters, and called us sometimes just to stay in touch. We all miss her!
