Patricia A. Macaulay
Patricia A. Macaulay died on Wednesday, September 10, 2014 at the age of 87.
She was born on Feb. 8, 1927 in Anderson, In. She lived outside Noblesville and was well-known for her musical talents as a young girl. At the very young age of five, she started taking piano lessons. At the age of 11, she started playing in church. When she was 13, she was asked by CBS to go to New York to demonstrate absolute pitch which is a God-given talent where she knew what note an instrument was playing just by listening.
When she was 16, she started traveling with an evangelistic team and played some of the largest organs in many venues around the world. While traveling, she met her husband and together they served the Lord for over 40 years in evangelistic meetings. They had large crusades in places like New Zealand and Australia and their radio ministry was heard in countries throughout the world.
She was a resident of Boca Raton, Fl., for 29 years, and in 1985 she and her husband moved to Chattanooga. Pat was the organist at Woodland Park Baptist Church for 21 years.
Pat loved the Lord and served him with all her heart. She had a real burden for seeing people come to know the Lord as their personal Savior and was a great prayer partner for her friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Neil.
She is survived by one daughter, Darlene (Macaulay) Ankerberg, son-in-law, Dr. John Ankerberg, and one granddaughter Michelle Ankerberg.
The family will have a private graveside service in Noblesville, In., and then they will receive friends on Thursday, Sept. 18, from 3-5 p.m. at Woodland Park Baptist Church.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Life Care Center of Collegedale and Amedisys Hospice services.
