July 1, 1949 – October 1, 2025
BOWIE – Patsy Sue King Biles, 76, passed away peacefully on Oct. 1, 2025, in Fort Worth, TX.
A celebration of Patsy’s life was at 11 a.m. Oct. 6 at Calvary Baptist Church, with Pastors Chris Litt and Greg Shaw officiating.
A visitation for family and friends will took place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at White Family Funeral Home.
She was born on July 1, 1949, in Hereford, TX to Otis Lee King and Ella Mae Fowler King. Patsy married the love of her life, Eddie Biles, on Aug. 16, 1967, in Temple. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and hard work. A born-again Christian, Patsy loved the Lord deeply, and her faith was the foundation of everything she did.
She and Eddie were active members of their church throughout their lives—from leading youth groups when their children were young to preparing meals for church gatherings. Patsy was especially known for her delicious homemade yeast rolls, which became a cherished part of many church events.
They were longtime members of Central Baptist Church in Bowie and most recently attended Calvary Baptist Church.
Patsy and Eddie owned and operated Industrial Diesel Service for more than 30 years alongside their son Allen, retiring in 2017. In 1998, they also founded Bowie Storage, which continues to serve the community today.
Family was at the heart of Patsy’s life. She raised her children with love and strength, and her legacy lives on through her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even a great-great-grandson. Her most treasured name was “MeMe,” lovingly given to her by her grandchildren. She cherished time spent with her large extended family, especially the many trips to the mountains with the King clan, where dirt bikes, laughter, and memories were always in abundance. Later in life, she and Eddie traded dirt bikes for street bikes, traveling coast to coast with friends and family, exploring the country together. Their adventures also took them on cruises to Alaska and a memorable trip to Hawaii.
Patsy is preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Dorven King and Doyle King; and her sister Leoda King Shaw.
She is survived by her loving husband, Eddie Biles; her children, Allen Biles and wife Michele, Tim Biles and wife Melissa, and Crystal Vieth and husband Gary; grandchildren, Evan Biles, Whitney Nelson, Ethan Biles, Dustin Biles, Erin Rose, Carli Vieth, Alyssa Vieth and Rylie Vieth; 16 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; and brothers, Jerry King, Orvel King and Donnie King.
Patsy’s warmth, strength, and unwavering faith will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
