In a whirlwind of events at the beginning of the year, Patsy Romine and her 3 daughters have received devastating news - she has been diagnosed with Stage 4 small cell lung cancer.

Patsy has been a pillar in the Beacon community for years. She has run Little Darlings family daycare out of her home, volunteered, and been an active member of Christ Methodist Church in Beacon.

She has dedicated her life to caring for others - her daycare kids as well as her daughters whom she raised herself after her husband Bill unexpectedly and tragically passed away in 2007.

Until further notice, they have closed the daycare so Patsy can receive intense chemo and radiation. Donations will be used to help support medical expenses and life expenses while Patsy is in the fight of her life.
