Patricia Parrish Jordan

Patricia Jordan, 78, of Pooler, Georgia, passed away on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

Born on May 4, 1948, in Salem, Arkansas, Pat moved to Pooler, Georgia, at a young age, where she spent much of her life building memories and making a home for her family. She dedicated over 20 years of her life to working at the Effingham County Environmental Health Department.

Pat loved nothing more than piddling around and finding a good deal, especially if it was on clearance. She always had a sense of humor and a way of bringing laughter to those around her. Those who knew her best will never forget how she always seemed to have "something in her eye." If you know, you know! Her humor, personality, and the little things that made her uniquely her will forever bring smiles to the faces of those who loved her.

Pat leaves behind a lifetime of precious memories and a legacy of love that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love she shared with her family and friends will continue to live on through the memories they hold dear.

She is survived by her loving husband of 28 years, Brent Jordan; her three sons, Luther Lamar Parrish Jr. (Wendy), Jeffery Allen Parrish (Kaitlin), and Mark Ashley Parrish (Tina); her eleven beloved grandchildren, Caleb Parrish (Natalie), Madison Morgan (Brandon), Mackenzie Barefield (Brandon), Joshua Parrish (fiancée Kelsi), Chandler Parrish, Miranda Parrish, Jordan Parrish, Tristian Parrish, Brantley White, Rylann White, and Jesse Parrish; her four cherished great-grandchildren, Lyndey Parrish, Tatum Parrish, Briar Morgan, and Avery Parrish; along with numerous loving nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Theodore Winford Harris (TW) and Tommy Louis Harris; her brother, Thomas Steve Harris Sr.; and her first husband, Luther Lamar Parrish Sr.

Though Pat's time here on earth has come to an end, the memories made, the love shared, and the lives she touched will remain a lasting part of her legacy. She will be deeply missed and remembered by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The family will receive friends and family on Friday evening October 23, 2026, at Carlson & Riggs Funeral Home from 6 to 8 o’clock.

The funeral service will take place on Saturday morning October 24, 2026, in the Carlson & Riggs Funeral Home – Chapel at 11 o’clock with burial following at Effingham Memorial Gardens.
