Sherylen Sue Cobb Patterson

Sherylen Sue Cobb Patterson, age 71, of Cleveland, Georgia, formerly of Gainesville, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on October 13, 2026. Born on April 12, 1955, Sherylen lived in Arizona and Colorado before moving to Georgia.

After graduating from nursing school at El Centro in Dallas, Texas, in 1984, she devoted 40 years to nursing. Over the course of her career, she held nursing licenses in 25 states and earned certifications in several specialties. She cared for mothers and newborns, worked in neonatal intensive care, and served as an emergency room nurse prior to retiring.

Her love of adventure took her from river cruises with her mother to water skiing, snow skiing, and even skydiving. She was also a gifted musician who played the saxophone and piano by ear. Her family fondly remembers hearing her play at neighborhood Christmas gatherings.

Her faith in Jesus was an important part of her life, and she attended Cleveland Worship Center. She was a beloved mom, Gigi, sister, aunt, and friend. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she is with Jesus and pictures her dancing in the streets of gold with her Maker.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Patsy Patterson and Johnny Patterson. She is survived by her daughter, Kim Ramats, and Kim’s husband, Nathan Ramats, and their children, Makenzie, Nathaniel, Jonathan, and Elizabeth Ramats. She is also survived by her son, Jason Cobb, his significant other, Tatum, and Tatum’s son, Rowan, as well as her brother, Greg Patterson, and his children, Max and Xander.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Cleveland Worship Center, 453 Helen Highway, Cleveland, GA 30528.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Cleveland Worship Center Building Fund in memory of Sherylen.
