Queen Nefertiti Patterson was born on June 24, 1953 in Port-
land, Oregon. She was the daughter of Rev. B.C. Patterson and
Irma Patterson, who preceded her in death.
Queen began to develop her relationship with Jehovah 5 years
ago when she began weekly bible studies with Jehovah Witness
until she became ill.
Queen was motivated and ambitious, which fueled her success as
an entrepreneur. She was involved in community outreach pro-
grams that worked towards individual’s growth and development.
She aspired to become a motivational speaker. Queen was known
to be a dedicated mother and grandmother. It’s what she took
pride in most.
She leaves to cherish her beautiful memory: Her sister, Merope
Patterson, her six children, Antonio Patterson (Arble Jones),
Chantel Franklin, Treon Stephens (Joi Stephens), Innocence
Stephens, Raven Daughtery and Ian Patterson; her additional
daughter, Angel Jones; her best friend, Earl Stone; seven grand-
kids, Giardan Franklin, Camry Abbott, Jacquese Jones, Jacquial,
her baby Heris Jones, Antonio Patterson Jr. and Jalisa Patterson;
her six great grandkids; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives,
and friends.
