Patricia A. McQueen

Patricia A. McQueen, 78, of Forsyth, IL passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Pat was born at Decatur & Macon County Hospital on September 8, 1948 to Roy Otis Weaver, Jr. and Jessie Faye (Kirk) Weaver. She attended Warrensburg High School for two years, and graduated Salutatorian from Maroa-Forsyth High School. She was also a graduate of Brown’s Business College.
Pat worked as a stenographer and later as an administrative assistant at Decatur law firms. She also worked as the family farm bookkeeper.
Pat married Robert McQueen on June 29, 1968 at Grace Methodist Church in Decatur. After living in Decatur for a couple of years, Pat and Bob built their forever home in Forsyth. With their dream home complete, Pat and Bob welcomed their only child, Brent, in 1976.
Pat loved horses, Holstein cows, farming, singing in the Church choir, and being a mother. When she wasn’t attending one of her son’s sporting events (of which she was at every one), she spent her free time crafting, volunteering, and spending summers with Brent at Sun’n’Fun. Pat created meticulous photo albums documenting every holiday, family event, home improvement, new car, tractor purchase, and annual crop conditions. Pat and Bob enjoyed their annual trip to the Farm Progress Show, where they were awed by the newest crop technologies.
Pat is survived by her son: Brent R. McQueen and his wife Bernessa of Schaumburg, IL; grandchildren: Owen and Amelia McQueen.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Robert, and her sister: Judi Curry.
A service to honor Pat’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at Calvert & Wikoff North Chapel, 4020 N. Water St. Decatur, IL. The family will receive friends for a time of visitation one hour prior to the service. Pat will be laid to rest at Mt. Zion Township Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be directed to Dementia Society of America, PO Box 600 Doylestown, PA 18901.
