Ms. Patricia Ann Littlejohn, an original native of Shelby, who moved to Hickory, North Carolina, entered into eternal rest at the age of sixty-four on Tuesday, November 29, 2022 at the Carolina Caring Hospice in Newton, N.C.

Patricia was born on August 2, 1958, to the late Mattie Johnson Littlejohn and DavidLittlejohn of Shelby, N.C. She grew up in Shelby, N.C and graduated from Crest HighSchool in 1977. Afterwards, she moved to Hickory and was a faithful member of Clinton Tabernacle AME Zion church, where she was an advent Usher each and every time she was provided the opportunity to serve. Later she became a full-fledged devoted member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Hickory where she faithfully served until her health declined.

She was employed at Hickory Springs Manufacturing in Hickory for 35 years. She was then employed as a custodian for 16 years at Hickory Public Schools in Catawba County. She transitioned to an in-home aide providing exemplary care to the elderly.
