Patricia (Mabry) Bird Edwards was born on September 11, 1940, in Corinth, Mississippi. She later moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she graduated from Messick High School. Following graduation, Patricia attended the Methodist Hospital School of Nursing, where she graduated at the top of her class, earning her Registered Nursing degree.
While living in Memphis, Patricia met her husband, Dr. Terrell Bird, M.D. The couple relocated to Los Angeles, California, where Dr. Bird completed his medical residency. During this time, Patricia began her nursing career, working in the pediatric intensive care unit. She found her work deeply rewarding and cherished the opportunity to care for children and support their families.
Patricia and Terrell later moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where she chose to pause her professional career to devote herself to raising their three children, Teri, Brett, and Eric. As the family sought a lifestyle closer to the coast, they settled in Opp, Alabama. While living there, Patricia served as the office manager for her husband\u2019s radiology practice, continuing to contribute her skills and dedication in a supportive role.
Following Dr. Bird\u2019s retirement, the couple made their permanent home in Destin, Florida. After his passing, Patricia moved to Enterprise, Alabama, where she now resides at Madison Heights.
Patricia\u2019s life reflects a strong commitment to family, service, and care for others, shaped by her years as a nurse, wife, mother, and professional partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
