Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,
My name is Jesse, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart. On May 30th, 2025, my mother Patsy Hysell left this world. She was a tough and tender soul — a Star Wars-loving, laughter-giving, quietly powerful woman who lived through pain with grace and fought every day with courage.
In the wake of her passing, we are now preparing to lay her to rest in Conrad, Montana, where she wished to be buried near loved ones. This moment — deeply emotional, deeply sacred — comes with unexpected financial challenges.
We are humbly asking for support to help cover her funeral and burial expenses, which amount to approximately $10,000 USD. This amount is needed in U.S. currency to fulfill her burial in the States. Every dollar will go directly toward funeral arrangements, transportation, and securing a peaceful final resting place for her.
Our goal is to raise these funds by next week, when we plan to hold the service and burial.
If you knew my mother, you knew a woman who never gave up — even when her body gave her every reason to. She lived with a chronic autoimmune illness that caused her constant pain, yet she showed up for her children and grandchildren with unmatched love and devotion. She was broken in body, but never in spirit.
If you feel moved to help, please know that any amount — no matter how small — truly helps. And if you can’t give financially, simply sharing this page would mean the world.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for honoring the memory of my mom. May her spirit live on in every kind act.
With love and gratitude,
Jesse & family
