Pattee Dunville Hibbs, went restfully into her Savior's arms on Friday, April 6, 2018 in Tampa, FL. She was born on May 29, 1930 in New Orleans, LA to the late Charles Franklin Dunville and Dorothy Ogden Dunville and was raised in Madisonville, KY. After graduating from Madisonville High School, Mrs. Hibbs received an Associate of Arts Degree in Child Development from Stephens College in Columbia, MO. She also attended Peabody College at Vanderbilt University and the University of Kentucky. Pattee lived in Madisonville for most of her life, but did reside in Florida, in both North Palm Beach and Tampa for several years.
