Patricia Louise McCarron

Patricia Louise McCarron, fondly known as Pat, died on March 11, 2026, at the age of 77. She was born on July 13, 1948, in Dothan, AL to the late Albert Smith Mason and the late Elizabeth Louise Judah White.

Pat spent 33 years dedicated to her career as a Regional Employer Services Liaison for the Social Security Administration before her well-deserved retirement. 

She was known for her love of dancing. Pat was a regular attender of the Beach Bum Reunion in Panama City Beach, and The Magic City Boppers in Birmingham. A passionate Alabama football fan, she wore her crimson, white, and houndstooth with pride, cheering on her beloved team at every opportunity. 

Pat is survived by her life partner, Jim Ellis of Springville, TN; three stepsisters, Patti Thomas, Sandra Woodham, and Sheryl Jowers; cousins, Kim (Greg) Littlefield of Pike Road, AL, and William (Tammy) Judah of Ozark, AL; and her nephew, Clark Harris (Alvin Diamond) of Troy, AL.

Along with her parents, she was also preceded in death by her first husband, Captain Robert James McCarron; a sister, Deborah Ann Mason Harris and her stepfather, Cordell White.

The body will be cremated with her ashes to be scattered in the Gulf of Mexico.
